- a metal-containing material and a method of this type are known (DE-A-199 13 714).
- the storage of hydrogen by means of metal hydrides has been described in the above document. It is known that hydrogen itself is an ideal carrier of energy, since only water is formed when it is converted back into energy. Hydrogen itself can be produced from water using electrical energy.
- This kind of ideal hydrogen energy carrier makes it possible to use electrical energy to selected places where it is produced to hydrogenate a hydrogen storage, i.e. to charge it, to transport it to other places and to dehydrate it, i.e. to discharge it where there is an energy requirement, and to use the released energy for the desired purpose, whereby water is created again during the reconversion.

- the generic metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material which contains a catalysing agent in the form of a metal oxide, is still not sufficient with regard to the desired or necessary reaction rate for hydrogenation and dehydration. Ren, especially since catalysts based on nitrides, oxides and carbides reduce their weight-related storage capacity of the hydrogen-storing material due to their sometimes high densities.

- the catalyst comprises at least one organic compound.
- the advantage of the organic compounds selected according to the invention as a catalytic agent is that they can be provided much more cost-effectively than metals as a catalytic agent, and it has been shown that this significantly increases the reaction kinetics of the metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material and effectively increases the catalytic effect of the organic compound even in very small amounts with respect to the actual metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material is sufficient to achieve the desired, very high reaction kinetics.
- the organic compound is a liquid organic compound, which ensures that a very good distribution of the liquid organic compound with the actual metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material is achieved, so that the manufacturing process of the metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material is timed can be significantly reduced.

Main group of the Periodic Table of the Elements or Metal 1 hydroxides in the same metal-containing, hydrogen-storing material as an additional catalyst to the 'organic or metal-organic compound used, whereby a further improvement in the reaction kinetics is achieved with certain quantitative and qualitative selectable mixtures ,
- the metal-containing material is preferably selected for certain applications in such a way that the metal combines a metal with an element of VI. and / or VII.

- the grinding of the catalytic agent and the grinding of the metal-containing material can be of different lengths and is chosen such that the degree of powdering of the metal-containing material is optimally adapted to the desired degree of powdering of the catalyst.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the method is possible that the metal-containing material is first subjected to the grinding process and then, after the addition of the catalysing agent, the grinding process with respect to the metal-containing material and the catalyst is continued, but it is also advantageously possible that the Catalyst is subjected to the grinding process and subsequently, after adding the metal-containing material, the grinding process with respect to the catalyst and the metal-containing material is continued.
