Mg4Co2H10 is an experimental metal hydride compound combining magnesium and cobalt with hydrogen, belonging to the intermetallic hydride family under investigation for energy storage and hydrogen-related applications. This research-phase material is primarily of interest in hydrogen storage systems and advanced battery technologies, where such hydrides are explored as alternatives to conventional storage media due to their potential for high hydrogen density and reversible absorption-desorption cycles. The cobalt addition to magnesium hydrides is studied to improve kinetics and cycling performance compared to pure magnesium hydride systems.
