ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a hydrogen storage apparatus comprising a hydrogen storage canister defining a longitudinal axis, at least one first partition, and at least one second partition. The at least one first partition is adapted to divide the hydrogen storage canister into at least one compartment. The at least one second partition is adapted to divide the at least one compartments into a plurality of sub-compartments into which the hydrogen storage alloy is disposed. The at least one second partition comprises a plurality of cells having a cell wall arranged in a honeycomb configuration, and the cell wall of each of the cells is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The second partition has a rectangle-shaped or fan-shaped honeycomb configuration. Accordingly, the efficiency of heat transfer is better and the hydrogen storage apparatus is safer when the hydrogen is absorbed or released by the hydrogen storage apparatus.
