For different hydrogenated metal intercalated fullerides (Na 10 C 60 -H, Li 12 C 60 -H, and Li 28 C 60 -H) the activation energies for hydrogen desorption were determined by DSC. The Vyazovkin advanced method (VA) was used for the calculation of the reaction model free activation energy as a function of the extent of conversion α. Activation energies are highest for low α and decrease for increasing α, between around 200−145 and 245−175 kJ/mol for the Na and Li compounds, respectively. The decrease of activation energy as a function of the extent of conversion can be explained by an increasing charge transfer to the C 60 H 36+y cage during desorption. Na intercalation leads to a significant thermodynamic destabilization for hydrogen desorption. Dehydrogenation enthalpies of 52 (Na 10 C 60 -H), 66 (Li 12 C 60 -H), and 69 kJ/mol H 2 (Li 28 C 60 -H) were determined. These values are lower compared to literature values for desorption of pure C 60 H 36 (74 kJ/mol H 2 ). The onsets of hydrogen desorption are 185°C (Na 10 C 60 -H), 260°C (Li 12 C 60 -H), and 250°C (Li 28 C 60 -H) compared to >400°C for pure C 60 H 36 .
