Thermodynamically destabilized hydride formation in "bulk" Mg-AlTi multilayers for hydrogen storage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermodynamic destabilization of MgH2 formation through interfacial interactions in free-standing Mg-AlTi multilayers of overall "bulk" (0.5 μm) dimensions with a hydrogen capacity of up to 5.5 wt% is demonstrated. The interfacial energies of Mg-AlTi and Mg-Ti (examined as a baseline) are calculated to be 0.81 and 0.44 J m(-2). The enhanced interfacial energy of AlTi opens the possibility of creating ultrathin alloy interlayers that provide further thermodynamic improvements in metal hydrides.

The phase stability diagrams for the decomposition of magnesium alanate [Mg(AlH4)2] nanoparticles were constructed as a function of particle size and temperature to better understand nanostructuring of the complex hydrides for hydrogen storage. Relatively smaller nanoparticles of Mg(AlH4)2, MgH2, Al, and Mg ranging from 1 to 2 nm were directly calculated by using density functional theory (DFT)...

متن کاملHydrogen storage in magnesium clusters: quantum chemical study.
Magnesium hydride is cheap and contains 7.7 wt % hydrogen, making it one of the most attractive hydrogen storage materials. However, thermodynamics dictate that hydrogen desorption from bulk magnesium hydride only takes place at or above 300 degrees C, which is a major impediment for practical application. A few results in the literature, related to disordered materials and very thin layers, in...
