Yes.
At the Max planck institute they research possibilities to use metal
hydride powders as a nightly solar heat store.
Under distinct conditions these have high heat storage capacity.
Also they research the heat pipe effect of metal hydrides.

Also they research metal hydride powder as hydrogen storage.
They put metal in a ball mill and mill it in a hydrogen athmossphere,
measuring temperature and pressure.
If the pressure sinks, hydrogen adsorption starts.
I think they do this day by day and will discover something new soon and
soon put it to the market.

Rossi & Piantelli must go sure that their patents dont violate Max
Planck Institute patents.
