摘要
Mg-20wt.%Fe_(23)Y_(8) composite was successfully prepared by reactive mechanical alloying(RMA).X-ray diffraction(XRD)measurement shows that the main phases of composite are MgH_(2) and Mg2FeH6.The composite exhibits excellent hydrogen abs/desorption properties and can absorb 4.36wt.%and 5.72wt.%hydrogen at 473 and 573 K in 10 min under 3.0 MPa hydrogen pressure,respectively.The composite can desorb 5.27wt.%hydrogen at 573 K in 30 min under 0.02 MPa hydrogen pressure.Compared with the pure MgH_(2),the hydrogen desorption temperature of Mg-20wt.%Fe_(23)Y_(8) composite is decreased about 40℃.It is supposed that both the catalyst effect of Fe-Y distributed in Mg substrate and the crystal defects play the main role in improving hydrogen sorption properties of Mg-20wt.%Fe_(23)Y_(8) composite.
