Abstract
We have investigated the hydrogen storage properties of a ball-milled mixture of 3Mg(NH2)2 and 8LiH after first synthesizing Mg(NH2)2 by ball milling MgH2 under an atmosphere of NH3 gas at room temperature. The thermal desorption mass spectra of the mixture without any catalysts indicated that a large amount of hydrogen (∼7 wt %) was desorbed from 140 °C, and the desorption peaked at ∼190 °C under a heating rate of 5 °C/min with almost no ammonia emission. Moreover, the reversibility of the hydrogen absorption/desorption reactions was confirmed to be complete. The above results indicate that this system is one of the promising metal−N−H systems for hydrogen storage.
