Temporal and spatial imaging of hydrogen storage materials: watching solvent and hydrogen desorption from aluminium hydride by transmission electron microscopy.

چکیده
An in situ thermal desorption study of solvated aluminum hydride (alane) by transmission electron microscopy and selected area diffraction has permitted characterisation of the structural and morphological changes during desorption of solvent and hydrogen in real-time; this powerful technique for studying hydrogen storage materials complements several others already employed.

Temporal and spatial imaging of hydrogen storage materials: watching solvent and hydrogen desorption from aluminium hydride by transmission electron microscopyw
There are extensive efforts underway worldwide to develop inexpensive and practical hydrogen storage materials for the implementation of a hydrogen-based energy economy. Perhaps the most promising candidates are light metal hydrides and their complexes. Amongst these, the binary hydride of aluminium, alane (AlH3)x, is increasingly recognised as a leading candidate, satisfying most of the requir...
متن کاملHydrogen Desorption Properties of Nanocrystalline MgH2-10 wt.% ZrB2 Composite Prepared by Mechanical Alloying
Storage of hydrogen is one of the key challenges in developing hydrogen economy. Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is an attractive candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage for on-board applications. In this study, 10 wt.% ZrB2 was co-milled with magnesium hydride at different milling times to produce nanocrystalline composite powder. The effect of milling time and additive on the hydrogen desorption...
متن کاملEffect of Milling Time on Hydrogen Desorption Properties of Nanocrystalline MgH2
Nanocrystalline magnesium hydride powder was synthesized by mechanical milling of MgH2 in a planetary ball mill for various times. The effect of MgH2 structure, i.e. crystallite size, lattice strain, particle size and specific surface area on the hydrogen desorption properties was investigated. A single peak of hydrogen desorption was observed for as-received powder, exhibiting an average parti...

Designing safe, compact and high capacity hydrogen storage systems is the key step towards introducing a pollutant free hydrogen technology into a broad field of applications. Due to the chemical bonds of hydrogen-metal atoms, metal hydrides provide high energy density in safe hydrogen storage media. Reactive hydride composites (RHCs) are a promising class of high capacity solid state hydrogen ...
متن کاملHydrogen evolution from Zr-based amorphous and quasicrystalline alloys
The combination of local tetrahedral order and favorable chemical composition makes amorphous and quasicrystalline Zr–Cu–Ni–Al alloys good candidates for hydrogen storage applications. Hydrogen evolution from these alloys has been studied by means of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The characteristics of hydrogen desorption from an initially quasicrystalline phase are analyzed in detail ...
