Abstract
- In this work, 3D hierarchical flower-like MoS 2 spheres are successfully fabricated via a hydrothermal method followed by a heat treatment. The obtained product is composed of few-layered MoS 2 nanosheets with enlarged interlayer distance (ca. 0.66 nm) of the (002) plane. Meanwhile, the hydrogen storage properties of the as-prepared MoS 2 ball milled with LiBH 4 are systematically investigated. The results of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and isothermal measurement suggest that the LiBH 4 –MoS 2 (as-prepared) mixture exhibits favorable dehydrogenation properties in both lowering the hydrogen release temperature and improving kinetics of hydrogen release rate. LiBH 4 –MoS 2 (as-prepared) sample (the preparation mass ratio is 1:1) starts to release hydrogen at 171 °C, and roughly 5.6 wt% hydrogen is released within 1 h when isothermally heated to 320 °C, which presents superior dehydrogenation performance compared to that of the bulk LiBH 4 . The excellent dehydrogenation performance of the LiBH 4 –MoS 2 (as-prepared) mixture may be attributed to the high active site density and enlarged interlayer distance of the MoS 2 nanosheets, 3D architectures and hierarchical structures.
