In this work, Magnesium nanoparticles with Pd decoration, ranging from 40 to 70 nm, were successfully coprecipitated from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, assigned as the Mg-Pd nanocomposite. The Mg-Pd nanocomposite exhibits superior hydrogen storage properties. For the hydrogenated Mg-Pd nanocomposite at 150 • C, the onset dehydrogenation temperature is significantly reduced to 216.8 • C, with a lower apparent activation energy for dehydrogenation of 93.8 kJ/mol H 2 . High-content γ-MgH 2 formed during the hydrogenation process, along with PH 0.706 , contributes to the enhancing of desorption kinetics. The Mg-Pd nanocomposite can take up 3.0 wt% hydrogen in 2 h at a temperature as low as 50 • C. During lower hydrogenation temperatures, Pd can dissociate hydrogen and create a hydrogen diffusion pathway for the Mg nanoparticles, leading to the decrease of the hydrogenation apparent activation energy (44.3 kJ/mol H 2 ). In addition, the Mg-Pd alloy formed during the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process can play an active role in the reversible metal hydride transformation, destabilizing the MgH 2 .
