The research aims to study the effect of adding mischmetal (Mm) to the TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07 alloy on its hydrogen storage performance and cyclic stability. The results show that TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07 + x% Mm (x = 0,4,6,8) alloys can be easily activated. The hydrogen absorption capacity of TiFe0.86Mn0.07Co0.07 + 4% Mm reaches 1.76 wt% (mass fraction) at 298 K. With the increase of Mm addition, the hydrogen storage capacity decreases slightly. Furthermore, after 40 absorption and desorption cycles in hydrogen containing 250 ppm O2, the alloy still has 36% of its initial hydrogen storage capacity, and the alloy can recover 93% of its hydrogen storage capacity through heat treatment.

Abstract: Catalytic doping plays an important role in enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of MgH2, while finding an efficient and reversible catalyst remains to be a great challenge in enhancing the de/rehydrogenation properties of MgH2. Herein, a bidirectional nano-TiH1.971 catalyst was prepared by a wet chemical ball milling method and its effect on hydrogen storage properties of MgH2 was studied. The results showed that all the TiH1.971 nanoparticles were effective in improving the de/rehydrogenation kinetics of MgH2. The MgH2 composites doped with TiH1.971 could desorb 6.5 wt % H2 in 8 min at 300 °C, while the pure MgH2 only released 0.3 wt % H2 in 8 min and 1.5 wt % H2 even in 50 min. It was found that the smaller the size of the TiH1.971 particles, the better was the catalytic effect in promoting the performance of MgH2. Besides, the catalyst concentration also played an important role and the 5 wt %-c-TiH1.971 modified system was found to have the best hydrogen storage performance. Interestingly, a significant hydrogen absorption amount of 4.60 wt % H2 was evidenced for the 5 wt %-c-TiH1.971 doped MgH2 within 10 min at 125 °C, while MgH2 absorbed only 4.11 wt% hydrogen within the same time at 250 °C. The XRD results demonstrated that the TiH1.971 remained stable in cycling and could serve as an active site for hydrogen transportation, which contributed to the significant improvement of the hydrogen storage properties of MgH2.

In recent years, the use of selected additives for improving the kinetic behavior of the system 2LiH + MgB2 (Li-RHC) has been investigated. As a result, it has been reported that some additives (e.g., 3TiCl3·AlCl3), by reacting with the Li-RHC components, form nanostructured phases (e.g., AlTi3) possessing peculiar microstructural properties capable of enhancing the system’s kinetic behavior. The effect of in-house-produced AlTi3 nanoparticles on the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics of the 2LiH + MgB2 (Li-RHC) system is explored in this work, with the aim of reaching high hydrogen storage performance. Experimental results show that the AlTi3 nanoparticles significantly improve the reaction rate of the Li-RHC system, mainly for the dehydrogenation process. The observed improvement is most likely due to the similar structural properties between AlTi3 and MgB2 phases which provide an energetically favored path for the nucleation of MgB2. In comparison with the pristine material, the Li-RHC doped with AlTi3 nanoparticles has about a nine times faster dehydrogenation rate. The results obtained from the kinetic modeling indicate a change in the Li-RHC hydrogenation reaction mechanism in the presence of AlTi3 nanoparticles.

The hydrogen storage performance of ball-milled sample of cast Mg-6 wt% Ni alloy was investigated. Morphology and microstructure of the cast sample and achieved powders were evaluated by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. The activation characteristics of ball-milled alloy are compared with those of the materials obtained by ball-milling of 5 wt% multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for 2 hours. MWCNTs enhanced the absorption kinetics considerably. The hydrogen content of modified powder by MWCNTs reached to the maximum hydrogen capacity within two minutes of exposure to hydrogen at 370°C and 2MPa pressure. The evidence is provided that nucleation and growth of hydrides accelerate drastically by homogenously distribution of MWCNTs on the surface of ball-milled powders.

The mixed powder method and covering method were adopted to prepare a composite that has hydrogen storage properties. In the experimental process, the alloy phases Mg2Ni and NiTi generated regularly; the penetration of the hydrogen atoms to the material was considered as the adsorption of the material to the hydrogen atoms; the original thermodynamic equation was edited; the crystal phases were optimized by adjusting the parameters about the material composition and gas concentration, so that providing advantageous channels of the hydrogen atoms in and out to improve the hydrogen storage properties. The results showed that integer multiples adjustment to trace element Ti could make hydrogen storage properties maximizing optimize and have controllability for the capacity and rate of hydrogen storage according to the newly editing equation. The innovation was to edit out equation that can improve the hydrogen storage properties through adjusting three parameters of trace element Ti, adsorption and penetration to find the most optimal condition improving the hydrogen storage properties.
