“…The Nd-Mg-Ni ternary compounds are expected to be the hydrogen storage alloys with excellent properties because the uniform composition would leads to in - situ formation of the ultrafine MgH 2 -NdH x -Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 composites 11 21 26 . From the reported literature and our experimental work, it can be found that there are seven ternary compounds in the Nd-Mg-Ni system: Nd 4 Mg 80 Ni 8 , NdMg 8 Ni, NdMg 5 Ni 27 , NdMg 2 Ni 9 , Nd 2 MgNi 2 28 , NdMgNi 4 29 and NdMg 2 Ni 9 30 . The new compound Nd 4 Mg 80 Ni 8 is selected as the target alloy because of its highest content of Mg among those ternary compounds which indicates the maximum hydrogen capacity.…”

“…The treatment of this model avoids the multistep calculation error at multi-temperatures and multi-pressures 50 . up to now, the RPP model has been successfully used in analyzing the H/D kinetics of Mg-Ni alloy 50 51 52 , LaNi 5 -based alloy 9 , Mg-LaNi 5 53 , La 2 Mg 17 -based composites 54 , etc. Therefore, the isothermal H/D kinetics of the Nd 4 Mg 80 Ni 8 are analyzed by fitting the observed curves using the RPP model.…”

“…However, the relatively slow kinetics of H/D reaction makes them far from practical application. Extensive efforts have been made to improve the H/D properties of magnesium-based alloys by adopting novel preparation techniques 3 4 to reduce the particles sizes or/and adding catalytic components such as transition metals (Ni 3 , Nb 5 , Ti 6 ) and rare earth elements (RE = La 7 , Ce 8 , Pr 9 , Nd 10 ). The addition of RE into Mg-based hydrogen storage alloys facilitates hydrogen absorption through the formation of rare earth hydrides (REH x ).…”

In order to find out the optimal composition of novel Nd-Mg-Ni alloys for hydrogen storage, the isothermal section of Nd-Mg-Ni system at 400 °C is established by examining the equilibrated alloys. A new ternary compound Nd4Mg80Ni8 is discovered in the Mg-rich corner. It has the crystal structure of space group I41/amd with lattice parameters of a = b = 11.2743(1) Å and c = 15.9170(2) Å, characterized by the synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (SR-PXRD). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) is used to investigate the microstructure of Nd4Mg80Ni8 and its hydrogen-induced microstructure evolution. The hydrogenation leads to Nd4Mg80Ni8 decomposing into NdH2.61-MgH2-Mg2NiH0.3 nanocomposites, where the high density phase boundaries provide a great deal of hydrogen atoms diffusion channels and nucleation sites of hydrides, which greatly enhances the hydriding/dehydriding (H/D) properties. The Nd4Mg80Ni8 exhibits a good cycle ability. The kinetic mechanisms of H/D reactions are studied by Real Physical Picture (RPP) model. The rate controlling steps are diffusion for hydriding reaction in the temperature range of 100 ~ 350 °C and surface penetration for dehydriding reaction at 291 ~ 347 °C. In-situ SR-PXRD results reveal the phase transformations of Mg to MgH2 and Mg2Ni to Mg2NiH4 as functions of hydrogen pressure and hydriding time.

Abstract. The MgH 2 +20 wt. % BaTiO 3 composites is prepared by ball milling MgH 2 with 20 wt. % BaTiO 3 , and the effect of BaTiO 3 on the hydrogen storage properties of the MgH 2 is investigated. TPD (Temperature-programmed-desorption) results showed that with addition of BaTiO 3 , the onset dehydrogenation temperature of the composite is 270 o C, which is 149 º C lower than that of pure MgH 2 . And the hydrogen absorption / desorption rates of MgH 2 + 20 wt.% BaTiO 3 are 2.21 times and 2.12 times of pure MgH 2 at certain temperatures and hydrogen pressures, respectively. Furthermore, BaTiO 3 additives decreased the dehydriding activation energy of MgH 2 from 116 kJ /mol to 108 kJ /mol. BaTiO 3 plays an effective catalyst role in the hydrogenation / dehydrogenation process of MgH 2 .

“…In recent years, new energy resources have been eagerly sought because fossil fuels are being gradually exhausted and their combustion products pollute our environment [1][2]. Hydrogen, with the advantages of not being a pollutant or generating pollutants through combustion, having a high energy density, and being naturally abundant, is considered an ideal energy carrier [3][4].…”

Abstract:To improve the hydrogen storage properties of Mg-based alloys, a composite material of MgH 2 + 10wt%LaH 3 + 10wt%NbH was prepared by a mechanical milling method. The composite exhibited favorable hydrogen desorption properties, releasing 0.67wt% H 2 within 20 min at 548 K, which was ascribed to the co-catalytic effect of LaH 3 and NbH upon dehydriding of MgH 2 . By contrast, pure MgH 2 , an MgH 2 + 20wt%LaH 3 composite, and an MgH 2 + 20wt%NbH composite only released 0.1wt%, 0.28wt%, and 0.57wt% H 2 , respectively, under the same conditions. Analyses by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed that the composite particle size was small. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic mapping demonstrated that La and Nb were distributed homogeneously in the matrix. Differential thermal analysis revealed that the dehydriding peak temperature of the MgH 2 + 10wt%LaH 3 + 10wt%NbH composite was 595.03 K, which was 94.26 K lower than that of pure MgH 2 . The introduction of LaH 3 and NbH was beneficial to the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 .
