How to find this review ?
There are 2 ways.
(i) The first way is to download it directly thanks to the box below, since the publisher does not make it available in its website (at least on Nov. 25th 2020) ; this paper has no DOI number. You can check whether the situation has changed directly in the publisher's website : here. This version is the ORIGINAL one, kindly supplied by Prof. Dieter H. Britz in 2014 to Nicolas Armanet (thanks a lot !).
(ii) The other way is to download it via the LENR-CANR.org website HERE. This version is not the original one, but is much more enjoyable to read (and with better resolution photos).

... and many many many other things ...
15.a) Videos of brittle metals pulverized by the first H absorption
In this section 15.a, it is question of Hydride-forming intermetallic compounds.
Two examples of brittle metals are given : ZrMn1.5 and LaNi5.
As mentioned by D.P. Broom (1) "Most of the materials of practical interest for storage applications decrepitate upon hydride phase formation, although some metallic hosts, such as Pd, do not.". This assertion perfectly illustrates that the formation of an Hydride does not necessarily means decrepitation (decrepitation = pulverization = the bulk host metal breaks up into fine powder). Note however that Pd (Palladium, Face-Centered Cubic) is a ductile metal and that the volumic mismatch between its Alpha phase (H-poor solid solution) and its Beta phase (H-rich solid solution) is about 9.8 % at RT, which is not that much.
That being said, most of the current Hydrogen storage compounds (being intermetallics) are brittle, so that decrepitation is difficult to avoid. But despite of its not-so-exciting connotations, the "decrepitation" aspect is actually of GREAT importance because it's a crucial part of the so-called "activation" process (of a given Hydrogen storage compound based on intermetallics). If you want to find out more about "activation" and "decrepitation", through the prism of intermetallics, we would advise you to consult e.g. :
- section 3.1.4 pp. 79-81 (+ the ref [60] page 80) in : D.P. Broom's book mentioned here above in this webpage in section 1.e.9 ;
- section 5.2.6 and 5.2.7 pp. 202-203 in : the book "H in intermetallic compounds II", 1992, mentioned here above in this webpage in section 1.e.2.
(1) in his 2011 book page 154. His book (Hydrogen storage materials, the characterization of their storage properties) can be found here above in section 1.e.9 in this webpage.
15.a.1) Video of ZrMn1.5 decrepitation
15.a.2) Video of LaNi5 decrepitation
Snapshots from the video. All the experimental details are precisely described in the movie (including the sound produced by the decrepitation !).
In addition to LaNi5, two alloys are presented : LaNi4.9Si0.1 and LaNi4.9Cu0.1.

Acknowledgements (including to Philips) :
First of all, we sincerely acknowledge Philips for letting us the possibility to make their movie available on our website "for educational and non-commercial purposes only" (email dated : April, the 7th, 2021). We also warmly thank our Philips contact, Willem van de Leest, for his always-very-cordial-and-prompt emails.
Sincere and warm acknowledgements are also due to Daniel FRUCHART (Directeur de Recherche Emérite, Institut Néel, Grenoble, France) for having informed us about the existence of this super movie, back in 2016. Thank you so much !!
N.B. : while citing this video, please don't forget to mention the above details (see "Details about the video").
Of course, a little thank to the i2-HMR would also be appreciated ;)
