agnesium hydride (MgH2) is a compound of magnesium and hydrogen that can be used as a source of hydrogen because of its property of easily extracting hydrogen by adding water. However, if compared to a battery, it is a primary battery (dry cell) and not a secondary battery (storage battery), so it cannot temporarily store hydrogen like a hydrogen storage alloy. Therefore, they cannot be used as a substitute for hydrogen tanks, but they are light...
