Abstract:Various experimental techniques to measure the equilibrium pressures of metal hydrides are reviewed, that is gravimetric, volumetric pcT measurements, hydrogenography and resistance measurements on thin films. The agreement of the data for the archetypical example MgH2 is very good. Differences are explained by kinetic effects of the sorption process.
