Abstract

The paper studies the results of investigation of VNx thin films obtained by the ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) technique in a specially designed experimental test-bench. The data on the electron microscopic examination of the nanoporous structure of the films and the measurements of their electrophysical and absorption/desorption characteristics are reported and discussed. The results make possible the application of nanoporous VNx thin films as promising material for use as the hydrogen storage.
