Abstract
In this study, we investigated the influence of MnTiO3 nanoparticles additive on hydrogen released performance of NaAlH4 for the first time. The MnTiO3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using conventional solid-state ceramic route. It was found that the hydrogen released performance of NaAlH4 can be significantly improved by the addition of MnTiO3 nanoparticles. Meantime, the composite of NaAlH4 doped 5 wt% MnTiO3 possessed excellent dehydrogenation properties, the onset dehydrogenation temperature was only 70.6 °C, reduced by about 105 °C in comparison with the pristine NaAlH4, and approximately 5.01 wt% of hydrogen could be released from composite with temperature heated to 220 °C. The isothermal dehydrogenation test results indicated that the amount of hydrogen released by NaAlH4-5 wt% MnTiO3 composite could reach 4.4 wt% under 200 °C within 25 min. According to the analysis of X-ray diffraction, the presence of MnTiO3 nanoparticles did not alter the overall dehydrogenation pathway of NaAlH4, and the Al3 Ti phases formed after dehydrogenation, which enhanced hydrogen desorption performances of NaAlH4 .
