<p>The applicability of an alloy as a hydrogen storage media
mostly relies on its pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) diagram. Since the
PCT diagram is composition-dependent, the vast compositional filed of high
entropy alloys, complex concentrated alloys or multicomponent alloys can be
explored to design alloys with optimized properties for each application. In
this work, we present a thermodynamic model to calculate PCT diagrams of body-centered
(BCC) multicomponent alloys. The entropy of the phases is described using the
ideal configurational entropy for interstitial solid solutions with site
blocking effect. As a first approximation, it is assumed that the H partial
molar enthalpy of a phase is constant, so the enthalpy of H mixing varies
linearly with the H concentration. Moreover, the H partial enthalpy of a phase
for a multicomponent alloy was approximated by a simple ideal mixture law of
this quantity for the alloy’s components with the same structure. Experimental
data and DFT calculations were used for parametrization of the enthalpy terms
of eight elements (Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta), which are the components
of the alloys tested in this work. Experimental PCTs of six BCC multicomponent
alloys of four different systems were compared against the calculated ones and
the agreement was remarkable. The model and parameters presented here can be
regarded as a basis for developing powerful alloy design tools for different
hydrogen storage applications.</p>
