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.

The multicomponent alumosilicide Li12Mg3Si3Al (cubic, space group I\overline{4}3d, cI76) belongs to the structural family based on the Cu15Si4 type. The Li atoms are ordered and occupy the site with symmetry 1 and the Mg atoms occupy the site with \overline{4}.. symmetry. The Si/Al statistical mixture occupies the site with .3. symmetry. The coordination polyhedra around the Li atoms are 13-vertex distorted pseudo-Frank–Kasper polyhedra. The environments of the Mg and Si/Al atoms are icosahedral. The hydrogen storage characteristics of Li12Mg3Si3Al were investigated. The reversible hydrogen storage capacity of the title compound is excellent and the gravimetric storage capacity of this new material, corresponding to 9.1 wt% H2, is higher compared to Li12Mg3Si4 (8.8 wt%). The enthalpy of hydrogen desorption is 86 kJ mol−1 and is lower compared to known lithium-based hydrides.

Two kinds of novel materials, Mg-1.6mol%Ni-0.4mol%NiO-2mol%MF (MF=NbF5, CrF3), along with Mg-1.6mol%Ni-0.4mol%NiO for comparison, were examined for their potential use in hydrogen storage applications, having been fabricated via cryomilling. The effects of NbF5 and CrF3 on hydrogen storage performance were investigated. A microstructure analysis showed that, aside from the main phase Mg, Ni and NiO phases, NbO, MgF2 and Mg2Ni were present in all samples after ball milling, MgH2 and NbH2 were observed in all samples after absorption. The CrF3-containing composite exhibited a good PCT results and a low onset desorption temperature under 0.1 MPa. The NbF5-containing composite exhibited a low absorption temperature of 323 K, a high hydrogen storage capacity of 4.03wt% at 373 K under the hydrogen pressure of 4.0 MPa, and it absorbed 90% of its full hydrogen capacity in 2700 sec and 100% in 5100 sec, it desorbed more than 1.8wt% in 3600 sec under vacuum environment. The CrF3-doped sample exhibited a low onset desorption temperature of 543 K under 0.1 MPa, and a low hysteresis coefficient of 0.25 at 573 K, and lower than 0.2 when temperature was 623 K. NbO and NbH2 played an important role in improving the absorption and desorption performance.

TiCl3 was chosen as an additive to increase hydriding and dehydriding rates of Mg. In our previous works, we found that the optimum percentage of additives that improved the hydriding and dehydriding features of Mg was approximately ten. Specimens consisting of 90 wt% Mg and 10 wt% TiCl3 (named Mg–10TiCl3) were prepared by high-energy ball milling in hydrogen. The specimens’ hydriding and dehydriding properties were then studied. Mg–10TiCl3 had an effective hydrogenstorage capacity (the quantity of hydrogen absorbed in 60 min) of approximately 7.2 wt% at 593 K under 12 bar H2 at the second cycle. After high-energy ball milling in hydrogen, Mg–10TiCl3 contained Mg, β-MgH2, and small amounts of γ-MgH2 and TiH1.924. TiH1.924 remained undercomposed even after dehydriding at 623 K in a vacuum for 2 h. The hydriding and dehydriding properties of Mg–10TiCl3 were compared with those of other specimens such as Mg–10Fe2O3, Mg–10NbF5, and Mg–5Fe2O3–5Ni, for which the hydrogen-storage properties were previously reported.

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.

Mg76Ti12Ni12-xCrx(x=0,3,6,9) alloys were synthesized by mechanical alloying(MA) approach and hydrogen storage properties of the alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and pressure-composition isotherm measurement. It is found that Ti2Ni phase and Mg2Ni phase exist as the main phases in Mg76Ti12Ni12-xCrx(x=0,3,6,9) alloys. The Mg76Ti12Ni12-xCrx(x=0,3,6,9) alloys exhibit the hydrogen storage capacity of 4.61,4.30,4.21 and 4.12wt%, and the decomposition enthalpies of the alloy hydrides are 928.4, 898.3, 831.2 and 851.4J/g H2, respectively. Mg76Ti12Ni6Cr6 alloy shows small hysteresis and fast hydrogen absorption rate. Proper Cr content can improve the performance of the Mg76Ti12Ni12-xCrx(x =0,3,6,9) alloys.
