With the pass of time, the global warming and shrinking fossil fuel supplies have become a concern matter. Thereby, there is a more and more evident need for find an alternative environment-friendly energy carrier. Hydrogen is a good candidate for this purpose like vector energy. The search for storage materials that provides high H2 storage density and good H2 sorption properties is relevant to a better advantage. Bimetallic nano materials have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in numerous fields of science and technology. Many experimental and theoretical researchers have been found that bimetallic nano particles (NPs) have interesting properties due to their structure, like size, composition, chemical composition among others.
