The Thermodynamics of the Scandium-Hydrogen System^1,2

Inorganic Compounds

“…Several attempts have been made to prepare ScH 3 even up to H 2 pressures of 35 atm, but none have been successful (Hardcastle and Warf, 1966;Lieberman and Wahlbeck, 1965a;and McGuire and Kempter, 1960). One can convince himself quite easily that this is probably due to the small size of scandium.…”

Developments in Chemical Thermodynamics of the Lanthanides

“…Studies of the scandium-hydrogen system by isothermal equilibra tion were made by Lieberman and Wahlbeck (114).…”

First principles screening of destabilized metal hydrides for high capacity H2 storage using scandium

“…In this paper, we use first principles methods to consider whether ScH 2 might be a useful component in destabilized reaction schemes for H 2 storage. Initially, ScH 2 may appear to be rather unpromising, since it only stores 4.3 wt.% H 2 and it is extremely stable; the experimentally observed reaction enthalpy for decomposition was estimated to be 201 and 258 kJ/mol H 2 by different groups [15][16][17][18]. Hydrogen adsorption by Laves phase alloys formed by Sc and heavier elements such as Ni, Co, Mn, and Cr have been studied previously by Akiba and co-workers [19].…”
