The hydrogen storage alloy is an important element in hydrogen system as energy carrier. Unfortunately by contacting with air the hydrogen storage alloy becomes to be deactivated and usually does not absorb any hydrogen more. Recently we found the effect of alkaline treatment and subsequent water rinsing process on the H2 sorption characteristics, where the H2 sorption is improved even after a significant oxidation. In this study we investigated the effect of only by the treatment at the water treatment on the H2 sorption characteristics. We found the preferred effect only at adequate temperature and with treatment duration.
