Abstract

NaMgH3 perovskite hydride and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) powder with multi-layer structure have been synthesized by high-energy ball-milling and heating-decomposition method respectively. In comparison with pristine NaMgH3 hydride, the as–milled NaMgH3+5wt.% g-C3N4 (NMH-5CN) composite presents better dehydriding kinetic properties and lower onset decomposition temperature. The onset decomposition temperature of NMH-5CN composite can be decreased about 87K, the hydrogen-desorbed amount is about 3.2 wt. % within 40min, and 1.4 wt. % within 10min at 638K, and the Kissinger analysis demonstrated that the activation energy (ΔE) of the first and second dehydrogenation step for NMH-5CN can be reduced about 40 kJ mol-1 and 22.4 kJ mol-1, respectively. The results suggest that g-C3N4 is an effective catalyst for the improvement of dehydriding properties of NaMgH3 perovskite hydride.
