H storage properties of Ti90V10 and Ti80V20 alloys were studied.
Potential application of (Ti,V) in hydrogen sorption enhanced steam reforming was considered.
Ti–V hydrides retain their reversible H storage capacity during the cycling in the flow of pure H2 gas.
The bulk and surface of Ti–V alloys were significantly altered after cycling in H2 + CO.
Processing in H2 + CO leads to the formation of oxygen rich layers that reduces H capacity.
