Abstract
The effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) addition on the dehydrogenation behavior of NaAlH4 (sodium alanate) is investigated using high-pressure thermal gravimetric analysis (HPTGA) and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (in-situ synchrotron XRD) technique. The HPTGA results show that the addition of MWCNTs facilitates dehydrogenation of NaAlH4 by lowering the first-step dehydrogenation temperature to 80 °C. In-situ synchrotron XRD analysis demonstrates that the dehydrogenation pathway can be modified by the addition of MWCNTs which resulting in an enhanced hydrogen desorption rate and reduced desorption temperature.
