“…Magnesium (Mg)-hydrides are considered promising hydrogen-storage materials due to their high theoretical hydrogen capacity of ∼7.6 wt%, low-cost, and good reversibility (Cao et al, 2015;Liu X. et al, 2015;Ding et al, 2017;Møller et al, 2017;Schneemann et al, 2018), even as compared to other high H-content complex hydrides (Zheng et al, 2008;Li et al, 2011Li et al, , 2014aLiu D. M. et al, 2015). As solid-state hydrogen storage media, their application is still hampered by a large reaction enthalpy of ∼76 kJ• mol −1 H 2 for desorption (Si et al, 2018), high activation barrier, and slow hydrogen atom diffusion (Paskevicius et al, 2010), which result in higher desorption temperature and sluggish kinetics.…”
