Hydrogen is stored in materials that absorb and desorb hydrogen with temperature dependent rates. A housing (111) is provided that allows for the storage of one or more types of hydrogen ~storage materials in close thermal proximity to a fuel cell stack (120). This arrangement, which includes alternating fuel cell stack (120) and hydrogen-storage units (200), allows for close thermal matching of the hydrogen storage material and the fuel cell stack (120). Also, the present invention allows for tailoring of the hydrogen delivery by mixing different materials in one unit. Thermal insulation alternatively allows for a highly efficient unit. Individual power modules (1420) including one fuel cell stack (120) surrounded by a pair of hydrogen- storage units allows for distribution of power throughout a vehicle or other electric power consuming devices (1400).

La présente invention a trait au stockage d'hydrogène dans des matériaux qui absorbent et désorbent l'hydrogène à des taux dépendant de la température. Un logement est prévu permettant le stockage d'un ou de plusieurs types de matériaux de stockage d'hydrogène à proximité thermique d'un empilement de pile à combustible. Cet agencement, qui comporte un empilement de pile à combustible et des unités de stockage d'hydrogène alternés, assure un correspondance thermique rapprochée du matériau de stockage d'hydrogène et de l'empilement de pile à combustible. La présente invention assure également l'individualisation de distribution d'hydrogène par le mélange de différents matériaux dans une unité. L'isolation thermique assure en variante une unité hautement efficace. Des modules d'énergie individuels comportant un empilement de pile à combustible entouré d'une paire d'unités de stockage d'hydrogène assure une distribution d'énergie dans tout le véhicule ou autre dispositif de consommation d'énergie électrique.
