TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Component: The hydrogen-absorbing storage material, the anode current collector, the anode catalyst, the polymer electrolyte, the cathode catalyst, and the cathode current collector are applied by one of screen printing or ink jet printing.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - METALLURGY - Preferred Component: The transition metal particles comprise material(s) from palladium, platinum, nickel, ruthenium, or rhenium. The mechanically alloyed storage material particles with the solvent have a low viscosity suitable for screen printing and ink-jet printing applications. The hydrogen-absorbing storage material retains its hydrogen sorption/desorption effectiveness after exposure to ambient air and water; and retains its hydrogen sorption/desorption effectiveness after exposure to aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide. The hydrogen-absorbing alloy particles comprise ABx alloys (I), AB/A2B alloys (II), or AB2 alloys (III). In formula (I),A=element(s) from La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Ca, Y, Zr, or Mischmetal;B=element(s) from Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Cu, Fe, B, Sn, Si, or Ti; andx=4.5-5.5.In formula (II),A=element(s) from Ti or Mg; andB=element(s) from Ni, V, Cr, Zr, Mn, Co, Cu, or Fe.In formula (III),A=element(s) from Ti, Zr, Hf, Th, Ce or rare earth metals; andB=element(s) from Ni, Cr, Mn, V, Fe, or Co.Preferred Process: The process further comprises adding the solvent to the mechanically alloyed hydrogen-absorbing storage material particles; and making a solution with a sufficiently low viscosity to be suitable for deposition by at least one of thick film printing and ink jet printing.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Component: The hydrogen-absorbing storage material further comprises a solvent added to the binding agent. The solvent is water, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, ethanol, methanol, heptane, toluene, carbitol acetate, or terpineol. The solvent is removed by drying.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Component: The binding agent is polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyvinylidenefluoride, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, organic conductive polymer, PTFE, polyvinyl acetate (PVA), acrylic copolymers, or sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene copolymers.
