NaBH 4 has long been identified as a viable hydrogen-storage 8 material due to a theoretical gravimetric H 2 capacity of 10.6 wt %. Because of 9 the high enthalpy of decomposition of 108 ± 3 kJ mol mesoporous materials has also been conducted, the most effective of which has been found to be Pd nanoparticles, which have a 23 desorption temperature of 420°C, a decrease of at least 85°C.

Among the thermodynamic properties of novel materials for solid-state hydrogen storage, the heat of formation/decomposition of hydrides is the most important parameter to evaluate the stability of the compound and its temperature and pressure of operation. In this work, the desorption and absorption behaviors of three different classes of hydrides are investigated under different hydrogen pressures using high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry (HP-DSC). The HP-DSC technique is used to estimate the equilibrium pressures as a function of temperature, from which the heat of formation is derived. The relevance of this procedure is demonstrated for (i) magnesium-based compounds (Ni-doped MgH2), (ii) Mg-Co-based ternary hydrides (Mg-CoHx) and (iii) Alanate complex hydrides (Ti-doped NaAlH4). From these results, it can be concluded that HP-DSC is a powerful tool to obtain a good approximation of the thermodynamic properties of hydride compounds by a simple and fast study of desorption and absorption properties under different pressures.
