Comparison of hydrogen storage properties of pure Mg and milled pure Mg

In vitro degradation of pure Mg in response to glucose

Magnesium and its alloys are promising biodegradable biomaterials but are still challenging to be used in person with high levels of blood glucose or diabetes. To date, the influence of glucose on magnesium degradation has not yet been elucidated, this issue requires more attention. Herein, we present pure Mg exhibiting different corrosion responses to saline and Hank's solutions with different...

Colorimetric determination of pure Mg(2+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase activity.

The malachite green-molybdate reagent was used for a colorimetric assay of pure Mg2(+)-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase activity. This enzyme plays a major role in fat metabolism. Enzyme activity was linear with time and protein concentration, and with the concentration of water-soluble dioctanoyl phosphatidate. The colorimetric assay was used to examine enzyme inhibition by phenylglyoxal, p...

A Process for Synthesizing the Li-Mg-N-H Hydrogen Storage System from Mg and LiNH2

Thermodynamic Modeling of Hydrogen Storage Capacity in Mg-Na Alloys

Thermodynamic modeling of the H-Mg-Na system is performed for the first time in this work in order to understand the phase relationships in this system. A new thermodynamic description of the stable NaMgH3 hydride is performed and the thermodynamic models for the H-Mg, Mg-Na, and H-Na systems are reassessed using the modified quasichemical model for the liquid phase. The thermodynamic propertie...

Thermodynamic Tuning of Mg-Based Hydrogen Storage Alloys: A Review

Mg-based hydrides are one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials because of their relatively high storage capacity, abundance, and low cost. However, slow kinetics and stable thermodynamics hinder their practical application. In contrast to the substantial progress in the enhancement of the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics, thermodynamic tuning is still a great challenge for Mg-...
