Abstract
Metal hydrides show promise as solid-state hydrogen storage options, but their practical use is challenging due to slow hydrogen uptake and release. This has led to interest in using metal nanoparticles as advanced materials for new hydrogen storage systems, as they display fast kinetics. However, understanding the adsorption and release kinetics requires investigation of the role of stress in accommodating the misfit between metal and hydride phases. In this paper, we present a continuum theory to assess how misfit stress affects the kinetics of hydride formation and growth in metallic nanoparticles, which we then apply to study the kinetics of adsorption and release in spherical particles.
