hydricity

Noun

hydricity (uncountable)

1. The combined use of hydrogen and electricity as a power source
   • But the impact of the hydricity economy goes beyond transportation.2005, Andrew Heintzman, Evan Solomon, Fueling the Future: How the Battle Over Energy is Changing Everything, →ISBN
   • The figures indicate a slight fall-off in the hydricity growth rate over the next several decades.2008, DAvid Sanborn Scott, Smelling Land: The Hydrogen Defense Against Climate Catastrophe
2. The tendency in a transition metal hydride for an H⁻ ion to transfer to a substrate
   • DuBois and coworkers carried out extensive studies of the thermodynamic hydricity of metal hydrides (3.2); in many cases the metal product resulting following hydride transfer will bind a CH3CN ligand (not shown in 3.2), so comparisons of hydricity will be solvent-dependent.2011, R. Morris Bullock, Catalysis without Precious Metals
   • The hydricity concept applies to the interaction of M-H bonds with CO₂ as well.2015, Michele Aresta, Angela Dibenedetto, Eugenio Quaranta, Reaction Mechanisms in Carbon Dioxide Conversion, →ISBN, page 87
