Abstract
The C15 Laves phase compounds have been much investigated due to their ability to absorb large amounts of hydrogen reversibly, which make them good candidates for the negative electrode in metal hydride batteries. Neutron diffraction measurements were performed on the Cl5 Laves phases compound TaV2Dx to identify the site occupancy of deuterium and to investigate the 100 K anomaly observed by Skripov using specific heat measurements. The refinement of the diffraction data as well as a comparison with previous neutron diffraction measurements will be described.
