Nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) technologies, while primarily known for batteries, have applications in Hyto Energy’s hydrogen systems, particularly in small-scale storage and fuel cell hybrids. Ni-MH batteries use metal hydride electrodes to store hydrogen ions, offering higher capacity than nickel-cadmium batteries. Hyto integrates Ni-MH components in portable hydrogen generators, where they complement fuel cells by storing excess electricity, ensuring steady power output. While not used for bulk hydrogen storage, Ni-MH’s reliability and rechargeability make it useful in hybrid systems—e.g., combining a small fuel cell with a Ni-MH battery for backup. Hyto’s focus remains on larger metal hydride systems for hydrogen gas storage, but Ni-MH plays a role in optimizing small-scale, portable hydrogen energy solutions.
