Abstract
To improve the disadvantages of Mg hydrides, a few studies were conducted for MgHx intermixed with transition metal fluorides. MgF2 formed from the MgHx-transition metal fluoride system can be replaces the initial surface oxide layer and provides a reactive and protective fluorinated surface for for hydrogen uptake. Thus, the absorption/desorption kinetics will be enhanced. In this research, MgHx-transition metal fluoride composites mixture has been prepared by hydrogen induced planetary ball milling. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and simultaneous thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetric analysis. The hydrogenation behaviors were evaluated by using a sievert’s type automatic pressure-composition-temperature apparatus without any activation treatment. From the characteristics of the absorption kinetics and curves observed, the role of transition metal fluoride was catalyst in hydrogen absorption. The results of Pressure-Composition Isotherm curve, available hydrogen storage amount for MgHx-5 vol% CoF2 composites were 4.85 wt%, for MgHx-5 vol%TiF3 composites were 4.88 wt%. at 623K in the 5th cycle.
