Abstract
A composite material in the LiH-LiF-MgB2 system has been synthesized by high-energy ball milling. Some peaks in addition to that of the binary 2LiH-MgB2 and 2LiF-MgB2 systems are observed for the composite material by high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry (HP-DSC), indicating the formation of intermediate phases. In situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction (SR-PXD) performed at 60 bar of H-2 and 390 degrees C shows a superposition of both reaction pathways that are typical for 2LiH-MgB2 and 2LiF-MgB2. After hydrogen absorption of the LiH-LiF-MgB2 composite the vibrational modes of LiBH4 were observed by attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The F-19 MAS NMR spectrum of the LiF-LiBH4 sample after heat treatment in hydrogen is strongly dominated by the centerband and spinning sidebands from LiF; in addition, a low-intensity resonance, very similar to that of [BF4](-) ion, is identified.
