“…Binary metal hydrides of AB5 stoichiometry, mainly derivatives of LaNi 5 crystallizing in the hexagonal CaCu 5 structure, are important chains in the hydrogen economy, being used in hydrogen storage and compression systems, fuel cells, purification devices, sensors, catalyst agents, and soft actuators, as well as in gas separators, which has recently attracted scientific interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Among the above-mentioned purposes, it seems that stationary storage, purification, compression and further uses for soft actuators, which will generate growing demand for new materials with a very different range of operating pressures [8,10,11].…”
