수소를 에너지매체로 하여 체계적으로 이용하기 위하여 다음과 같은 사항이 예상된다. 첫째, 물에서 수소를 만들이 위하여 어떠한 에너지원을 사용해야 하는 문제이다. 화석연료나 원 자력으로는 깨끗한 에너지시스템이라는 본래의 목적에 어긋난다. 그래서 태양에너지를 이용하는 것이 원칙이라고 생각한다. 둘째, 수소의 수송과 저축의 방법인데, 파이프라인이나 고압봄베와 같은 종래의 방법을 극복하는 혁신적인 금속수소화물법이 중요하다고 생각된다. 철 . 티탄합금, 란탄 . 니켈합금, 마그네슘 . 니켈합금 등은 합금 체적의 100배에 가까운 수소를 흡장할 수 있는 특성을 가지고 있다. 셋째, 수소에너지가 석유에 대체되기 위해서는 에너지를 수소로 변경함으로써 석유로는 불가능 했던 것이 가능해질 수 있는 이용법을 개발하는 일이다. 넷째, 수소를 2차 에너지로 사용함으로써 전력계층과의 협조체제가 확립되어 에너지원, 에너지 매체, 에너지이용의 협조적이며 유기적인 시스템이 가능해질 것으로 생각된다. 전력이 남아돌 때는 물분해로 수소를 만들어 저축하고 전력이 부족할 때는 연료전지를 사용하여 전력으로 바 꾼다.

A 76.5wt%Mg - 23.5wt%Ni (Mg-23.5Ni) sample was prepared by reactive mechanical grinding (RMG) and its hydriding and dehydriding properties were then investigated. Activation of the Mg-23.5Ni sample was completed only after two hydriding (under 12 bar $H_2$) - dehydriding (under 1.0 bar $H_2$) cycles at 593K. The reactive mechanical grinding of Mg with Ni is considered to facilitate nucleation and shorten diffusion distances of hydrogen atoms. After hydriding - dehydriding cycling, the Mg-23.5Ni sample contained Mg2Ni phase.

With rapid industrialization and population growth, fossil fuel use has increased, which has a significant impact on the environment. Hydrogen does not cause contamination in the energy production process, so it seems to be a solution, but it is essential to find an appropriate storage method due to its low efficiency. In this study, Mg-based alloys capable of ensuring safety and high volume and hydrogen storage density per weight was studied, and Mg₂NiH_x synthesized with Ni capable of improving hydrogenation kinetics. In addition, in order to improve thermal stability, a hydrogen storage composite material synthesized with CaO was synthesized to analyze the change in hydrogenation reaction. In order to analyze the changes in the metallurgical properties of the materials through the process, XRD, SEM, BET, etc. were conducted, and hydrogenation behavior was confirmed by TGA and hydrogenation kinetics analysis. In addition, in order to evaluate the impact of the process on the environment, the environmental impact was evaluated through "Material Life Cycle Assessments" based on CML 2001 and EI99' methodologies, and compared and analyzed with previous studies. As a result, the synthesis of CaO caused additional power consumption, which had a significant impact on global warming, and further research is required to improve this.

A battery based on the lithium/elemental sulfur redox couple has the advantage of high theoretical specific capacity of 1,675 mAh/g-sulfur. However, Li/S battery has bad cyclic durability at room temperature due to sulfur active material loss resulting from lithium polysulfide dissolution. To improve the cycle life of Li/S battery, PEGDME (Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether) 500 containing 1M LiTFSI salt which has high viscosity was used as electrolyte to retard the polysulfide dissolution and nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ was added to sulfur cathode as additive to adsorb soluble polysulfide within sulfur cathode. From experimental results, the improvement of the capacity and cycle life of Li/S battery was observed( maximum discharge capacity : 1,185 mAh/g-sulfur, C50/C1 = 85 % ). Through the charge-discharge test, we knew that PEGDME 500 played a role of preventing incomplete charge-discharge $behavior^{1,2)$. And then, in sulfur dissolution analysis and rate capability test, we first confirmed that nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ had polysulfide adsorbing effect and catalytic effect of promoting the Li/S redox reaction. In addition, from BET surface area analysis, we also verified that it played the part of increasing the porosity of sulfur cathode.
