In this paper, graphite and Fe2O3 are introduced into MgH2 powder by the method of hydrogenation after magnetic grinding. Hydrogen storage materials which composite of MgH2–5 wt.% C and MgH2–5 wt.% C–5 wt.% Fe2O3 are successfully prepared. The physical structure of these materials was analyzed and characterized by XRD, SEM, etc. Furthermore, the influence of graphite and Fe2O3 on the hydrolysis of MgH2 was systematically investigated. The results show that MgH2–C–Fe2O3 composite powder has the fastest hydrogen release rate in municipal drinking water and the highest conversion rate. Graphite and Fe2O3 can effectively reduce the activation energy of the hydrolysis reaction of MgH2 and improve the hydrolysis kinetics of MgH2. The synergistic effect of the coaddition of graphite and Fe2O3 can significantly increase the hydrolysis conversion rate of MgH2 and improve the hydrolysis kinetics.

Hydrogen storage materials have been a subject of intensive research during the last 4 decades. Several developments have been achieved in regard of finding suitable materials as per the US-DOE targets. While the lightweight metal hydrides and complex hydrides meet the targeted hydrogen capacity, these possess difficulties of hard thermodynamics and sluggish kinetics of hydrogen sorption. A number of methods have been explored to tune the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of these materials. The thermodynamic constraints could be resolved using an intermediate step of alloying or by making reactive composites with other hydrogen storage materials, whereas the sluggish kinetics could be improved using several approaches such as downsizing and the use of catalysts. The catalyst addition reduces the activation barrier and enhances the sorption rate of hydrogen absorption/desorption. In this review, the catalytic modifications of lightweight hydrogen storage materials are reported and the mechanism towards the improvement is discussed.

We describe the synthesis of MeH2N–BH2Me (3) and H3N–BH2Me (4) as potential hydrogen storage materials with 6.8 wt-% and 8.9 wt-% capacity, respectively. Compounds 3 and 4 readily release 2 equivalents of H2 at 80°C in the presence of a CoCl2 catalyst to furnish the corresponding trimerized borazine derivatives. Regeneration of 3 from its spent fuel material can be accomplished using a simple two-step process: activation with formic acid followed by reduction with LiAlH4.

Mixtures of hydrogen storage materials are examined to find a ‘fuel blend’ that remains a liquid phase throughout hydrogen release, maximizes hydrogen storage density, minimizes impurities and is thermally stable.
