Characteristics of Mg2−xTixNi1−yCuy–H2 (0<x<2, 0<y<1) alloys

Combinatorial approach to material synthesis and screening of hydrogen storage alloys

“…For example, the hydrogenation properties of MgNiM1 (M1 = Cr, Fe, Co, Mn) investigated by Tsushio et al [4] showed that upon substitution of the transition metal M1 the binding energy for the hydrogen becomes distributed over a wider range of energies, which is consistent with the lower sorption temperatures. Many studies have reported the positive effects of slight composition variations and amorphous content [5], the elemental or compound substitution of the hydride forming element [6,7] and the advantages of adding 3d transition elements to a magnesium alloy [8].…”
