In this work,a Mg-based composite material with in-situ formed LaH3, Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4 ＋ 20 wt% LaH3,was prepared by ball milling LiBH4 and hydrogenated LaMg2 Ni and Mg2 Ni powder mixture, followed by heat treatment at ...In this work,a Mg-based composite material with in-situ formed LaH3, Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4 ＋ 20 wt% LaH3,was prepared by ball milling LiBH4 and hydrogenated LaMg2 Ni and Mg2 Ni powder mixture, followed by heat treatment at 573 K. The onset dehydrogenation temperature of the composite is reduced by 50 K compared with that of Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4. The LaH3-doped composite shows faster kinetics,absorbing1.43 wt% hydrogen within 100 s at 423 K,which is 6.5 times faster than Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4. Moreover,the composite releases 1.24 wt% hydrogen within 500 s at 573 K,0.69 wt% higher than Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4. The activation energy of the composite is reduced by 8.2 and 80 kJ/mol compared with that of Mg2 NiH4-LiBH4 and commercial MgH2, respectively. The improvement in hydrogen storage properties is attributed to the fact that LaH3 promotes the generation of nano-sized spongy Mg structure, which has good catalytic activity during the subsequent hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process.展开更多

Hydrogen desorption pressure-composition-temperature(PCT) measurements were carried out using Sievert’s type volumetric apparatus for ZrCo(at 473 K, 573 K and 673 K) and Zr1-xTixCo alloys(at 673 K), respectively. Products after dehydrogenation were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD). In addition, the kinetics of Zr1-xTixCo hydride was investigated at 473 K and 673 K,respectively, under hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa. Results showed that Ti substitution for Zr did not change the crystal structure of ZrCo phase.With the increase of temperature from 473 K to 673 K, the extent of disproportionation for ZrCo alloy increased. With Ti content increasing at 673 K, the desorption equilibrium pressure of Zr1-xTixCo-H2 systems elevated and the disproportionation reaction of Zr1-xTixCo alloys was inhibited effectively. Ti substitution decreased the kinetics rate and the effective hydrogen storage capacity of Zr1-xTixCo alloys slightly.Generally speaking, it was found that Zr0.8Ti0.2Co alloy had better anti-disproportionation property with less decrease of effective hydrogen storage capacity which was beneficial to tritium application in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER).展开更多
