Retrospect on Zirconium Laves Phases ZrZn2 and ZrAl2 with Their Physicochemical Properties and Perspective for Possible Hydrogen Storage Reactions
Abstract
The present concise communication emphasizes on two zirconium based AB2 alloys (ZrZn2 and ZrAl2) with an overview concerning the basic physicochemical properties alongside their structure, elastic, or magnetic nature, with further outlook in hydrogenation application purpose. We started introducing the general aspects of using Zirconium based intermetallics with their advantages and the prevalent apprehension about binary phase diagram of Al-Zr and Zn-Zr systems. We outlined extensive examples overlapping these different properties and we highlighted the importance of hydrogen storage materials in the current worldwide concern about using clean energy.
