Abstract
- With the aim to decrease temperature and improve the kinetics of decomposition of the MgH stoichiometric hydride, we study the possibility of its complex alloying with 3 at.% Al + 3 at.% Ni + 7 at.% Ti performed with the help of mechanochemical synthesis. It is shown that, as a result of the addition of Al, Ni, and Ti to magnesium, the thermal resistance of the MgH hydride phase of the mechanical alloy obtained by the reactive mechanical alloying decreases and, hence, the temperature of the onset of hydrogen desorption decreases from 320°C (for MgH without Al, Ni, and Ti) to 280°C. We do not detect any decrease in the equilibrium temperature of the onset of hydrogen desorption under its constant pressure of 1 bar in a reactor, which may serve as an indication of the loss of thermodynamic stability of MgH as a result of mechanical alloying. It is shown that the kinetics of hydrogen desorption of the MgH phase of the mechanical alloy is mainly improved by alloying with Ni and Ti, whereas the contribution of Al is negligible.
