Noun[edit]

hydricity (uncountable)

  1. The combined use of hydrogen and electricity as a power source
    • 2005, Andrew Heintzman, Evan Solomon, Fueling the Future: How the Battle Over Energy is Changing Everything, →ISBN:
      But the impact of the hydricity economy goes beyond transportation.
    • 2008, DAvid Sanborn Scott, Smelling Land: The Hydrogen Defense Against Climate Catastrophe:
      The figures indicate a slight fall-off in the hydricity growth rate over the next several decades.
  2. (chemistry) The tendency in a transition metal hydride for an H- ion to transfer to a substrate
    • 2011, R. Morris Bullock, Catalysis without Precious Metals:
      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.
    • 2015, Michele Aresta, Angela Dibenedetto, Eugenio Quaranta, Reaction Mechanisms in Carbon Dioxide Conversion, →ISBN, page 87:
      The hydricity concept applies to the interaction of M-H bonds with CO2 as well.
