Stoichiometry in Inter-Metallic Compounds for Hydrogen Storage Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter is devoted to the discussion of the influence of stoichiometry deviation on the structure, gaseous phase hydrogen storage, and electrochemical properties of some important inter-metallic compounds (IMC). First, the hydrogen storage characteristics and other important features of the IMC will be reviewed and then there will be a discussion of the AB5, AB2, A2B7, and AB metal hydride (MH) alloy systems with variations in stoichiometry. The experiments that provide the basis for this chapter’s discussion are described in detail (experimental set-up and chosen parameters) in earlier publications (Young, et al., 2008, 2009a, 2010a).

Study the stability of Si, Ge, Fe and Co in the interior surface of metallic carbon nanotube for hydrogen storage
In this article, we have performed calculations for studying the stability of the carbon group elements such as Si and Ge and also the magnetic elements like Fe and Co via first principle investigations. We found that Si and Ge decoupled from the interior surface of carbon nanotubes, this fact was independent in curvature, radius, conductivity and numbers of atoms in the carbon nanotubes. But t...
متن کاملEnhancement of Hydrogen Storage Behavior of Complex Hydrides via Bimetallic Nanocatalysts Doping
Pristine complex quaternary hydride (LiBH4/2LiNH2) and its destabilized counterpart (LiBH4/2LiNH2/nanoMgH2) have recently shown promising reversible hydrogen storage capacity under moderate operating conditions. The destabilization of complex hydride via nanocrystalline MgH2 apparently lowers the thermodynamic heat values and thus enhances the reversible hydrogen storage behavior at moderate te...
متن کاملSynthesis, characterization and hydrogen storage properties of Mm(Ni,Co,Mn,Al)5 alloy
The hydrogenation characterizations of the hydrogen storage alloy MmNi4.22Co0.48Mn0.15Al0.15 (Mm= mischmetal), and the effect of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (H/D) cycling on its structural and morphological properties are investigated. The results indicate that after several H/D cycles the alloy was pulverized into fine particles, but it kept its hexagonal CaCu5-type structure. The pressure-c...
