Abstract

Ball milling of the LiNH2 + LiH storage system was performed at 20°C, -40°C, and -196°C, and the resulting powders were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), specific surface area (SSA) analysis, and kinetics cycling measurements. Ball milling at -40°C showed no appreciable deviations from the 20°C sample, but the -196°C powder exhibited a significant increase in the hydrogen desorption kinetics. NMR analysis indicates that a possible explanation for the kinetics increase is the retention of internal defects generated during the milling process that are annealed at the collision site at higher milling temperatures.
