An alloy with nominal composition V₈₅Ni₁₅ was prepared in a vacuum induction melting apparatus. The chemical analysis of the sample showed a V (Ni) content of 82.63 (15.68) at% and small contaminations by carbon and aluminum. XRD measurements confirmed that the bcc Ni-V solid solution phase is the main constituent of the sample. However, a minor impurity (approximately 6.5 wt%) due to the precipitation of the sigma NiV_3-x phase is present in the sample.

Hydrogen sorption measurements extending from 150 °C up to 400 °C in a wide pressure range (up to 90 bar) were performed. Upon hydrogenation below 250 °C, one observes the subsequent presence of an α phase and of two hydride phases with different values of dehydrogenation enthalpy: ΔH_dehydr = 21 ± 1 kJ/mol for 0.15 ≤ H/M ≤ 0.30 and ΔH_dehydr = 26 ± 2 kJ/mol for 0.53 ≤ H/M ≤ 0.59. Above 300 °C, there is no evidence of the formation of hydrides and only an α phase is present up to the maximum measured composition, with a hydrogenation enthalpy ΔH_hydr = 10.0 ± 0.5 kJ/mol.

在真空感应熔化设备中制备具有标称组成V ₈₅ Ni ₁₅的合金。样品的化学分析显示，V（Ni）含量为82.63（15.68）at％，并且碳和铝的污染较小。XRD测量证实bcc Ni-V固溶相是样品的主要成分。但是，样品中由于σNiV _3-x相的析出而存在少量杂质（约6.5 wt％）。

在宽压力范围（最高90 bar）内进行了从150°C到400°C的氢吸附测量。在低于250°C的温度下氢化时，人们观察到随后出现的α相和两个氢化物相具有不同的脱氢焓：ΔH_脱水 = 21±1 kJ / mol（_0.15≤H / _M≤0.30和ΔH_脱水 = 26）对于0.53≤H / M≤0.59，±2 kJ / mol。高于300°C，没有证据表明存在氢化物形成，直到最大测得的组成，只有一个α相存在，氢化焓_ΔHhydr  = 10.0±0.5 kJ / mol。
