Abstract:
Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is an attractive candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage applications. Scanning Electron Microscopy observations showed that during cyclic absorption and desorption considerable micro-crack was formed at the reaction interface and reduced the nucleation time. To improve the kinetic properties of MgH2 during dehydrogenation a nanostructured MgH2-10%mol TiH2-6%mol TiO2 material system was prepared by high-energy ball milling. Isothermal analysis with commercial volumetric sievert demonstrated that the addition of titanium compounds significantly improved the kinetics of dehydrogenation compared to commercial MgH2
