A hollow glass microsphere is provided having a diameter range of between 1 to 140 microns, a density of between 0.05 to 0.50 gm/cc, a porouswall structure having wall openings defining an average pore size of between 10 to 1000 angstroms, and which contains therein a hydrogen storage material. The porous- wall structure facilitates the introduction of a hydrogen storage material into the interior of the hollow glass microsphere. Thereafter, a barrier coating may be applied and/or the microspheres are processed to alter or reduce the effective pore size. In this manner, the hollow glass microsphere can provide a membrane for the selective transport of hydrogen through the porous walls of the microsphere, the small pore size preventing gaseous or liquid contaminants from entering the interior of the hollow glass microsphere.

La présente invention porte sur une microbille de verre creuse d'un diamètre compris entre 1 et 140 microns, d'une densité comprise entre 0,05 et 0,50 gm/cc, qui présente une structure de paroi poreuse dotée d'ouvertures définissant un diamètre de pore moyen compris entre 10 et 1000 angströms et qui renferme un matériau de stockage d'hydrogène. La structure de paroi poreuse facilite l'introduction d'un matériau de stockage d'hydrogène dans la partie interne de la microbille de verre creuse. Un revêtement formant barrière peut ensuite être appliqué et/ou les microbilles sont traitées pour modifier ou réduire le diamètre de pore effectif. De cette manière, la microbille de verre creuse peut constituer une membrane assurant le transport sélectif d'hydrogène à travers les parois poreuses de la microbille, le faible diamètre de pore empêchant les contaminants gazeux ou liquides de pénétrer à l'intérieur de la microbille de verre.
