The nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg2Ni-type Mg20Ni10-xMnx (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) alloys were synthesized by melt-spinning technique. The structures of the as-cast and spun alloys were characterized by XRD, SEM and HRTEM. The hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of the alloys were measured. The results show that the substitution of Mn for Ni, instead of changing the major phase Mg2Ni, leads to the formation of Mg and MnNi phases. No amorphous phase is detected in the as-spun Mn-free alloy, but the as-spun alloys substituted by Mn display the presence of an amorphous phase, suggesting that the substitution of Mn for Ni enhances the glass forming ability of the Mg2Ni-type alloy. The hydrogen absorption capacity of the as-cast alloys first increases and then decreases with the variation of the amount of Mn substitution. The hydrogen desorption capacity of the alloys markedly increases with growing Mn content.

Hydrogen storage materials from Mg – Al alloy and Mg + Al mixture were prepared by reactive milling under H 2 atmosphere with carbonized anthracite as milling aid. The crystal structure of the materials and influence of Al location on hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics were investigated. Results show that Mg partly got hydrided into β- MgH 2 and γ- MgH 2 during reactive milling. The average crystallite sizes of β- MgH 2 in the as-milled Mg – Al alloy and Mg + Al mixture were calculated by Scherrer equation to be 10 nm and 17 nm, respectively. In the process of hydrogen desorption, the catalytic ability of Al in Mg crystal lattice was not as effective as that on particle surface. The apparent activation energies for hydrogen desorption of the two materials were estimated by Kissinger equation to be 112.2 kJ/mol and 63.7 kJ/mol, respectively. Mg 17 Al 12 reacted with H 2 to convert into MgH 2 and elemental Al during static hydrogenation at 300°C. For the hydrogenated Mg + Al mixture, the obvious increase of crystallite size resulted in a low rate of hydrogen absorption and a high temperature for hydrogen desorption.

In order to improve the gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of the Mg2Ni-type alloys, Ni in the alloy was partially substituted by element Co. Melt-spinning technology was used for the preparation of the Mg20Ni10-xCox (x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) hydrogen storage alloys. The structures of the as-cast and spun alloys are characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The gaseous hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of the alloys were measured by an automatically controlled Sieverts apparatus. The electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of the as-spun alloys is tested by an automatic galvanostatic system. The results show that the as-spun Co-free alloy holds a typical nanocrystalline structure, whereas the as-spun alloys substituted by Co display a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure, confirming that the substitution of Co for Ni facilitates the glass formation in the Mg2Ni-type alloy. Both the melt spinning and the substitution of Co for Ni evidently ameliorate the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics and the HRD of the alloys. With an increase in the spinning rate from 0 (As-cast was defined as spinning rate of 0 m/s) to 30 m/s, the hydrogen absorption saturation ratio ( ) of the Co4 alloy grows from 77.1 to 93.5 wt.%, the hydrogen desorption ratio ( ) from 54.5% to 70.2%, the HRD from 60.3% to 76.0%, respectively.

The microstructural revolution of non-hydrogenated and hydrogenated Mg-based Mg-10Ni-2Mm alloy was studied. PCT and H-absorption/desorption kinetics were performed to evaluate the hydrogen storage properties. Storage capacities of 4.75, 5.03 and 5.27wt.%H for the alloy were obtained at 300, 325 and 350°C, respectively. The phases in the hydrogenated samples are mainly MgH2 and Mg2NiH4. Two absorption/desorption plateau existed in the PCT curves at each isothermal temperature. The values of ΔH and ΔS of the Mg2NiH4-formation was respectively -61.5 kJ/mol H2 and -118.6 J/mol H2 K which is lower compared with literature values. The kinetics of the H-absorption/desorption reactions for the alloy was improved by increasing the temperature. The alloy at 350°C showed the best kinetics performance of the H-absorption/desorption among the three temperatures. It is suggested that metallic particles and Mm may be mainly responsible for the improvement of the H-absorption/desorption kinetics, and Ni for the enhancement of hydrogen absorption capacity of the alloys.
