Abstract: Metal hydride is a kind of functional material widely used，which can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen，and the reaction kinetics of the process has attracted many attentions. The paper reviews the various techniques commonly used in the kinetic measurement for metal hydrides，including volumetric method and thermal analysis method. Furthermore the production and elimination of the measurement errors are analyzed and the characteristics of the techniques are summarized，finally a forecast about the development of novel techniques is given.
