Hydrogen storage behavior of 2LiBH4/MgH2 composites improved by the catalysis of CoNiB nanoparticles
2014
Abstract 2LiBH 4 /MgH 2 system is a representative and promising reactive hydride composite for hydrogen storage. However, the high desorption temperature and sluggish desorption kinetics hamper its practical application. In our present report, we successfully introduce CoNiB nanoparticles as catalysts to improve the dehydrogenation performances of the 2LiBH 4 /MgH 2 composite. The sample with CoNiB additives shows a significant desorption property. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) measurement demonstrates that the peak decomposition temperatures of MgH 2 and LiBH 4 are lowered to be 315 °C and 417 °C for the CoNiB-doped 2LiBH 4 /MgH 2 . Isothermal dehydrogenation analysis demonstrates that approximately 10.2 wt% hydrogen can be released within 360 min at 400 °C. In addition, this study gives a preliminary evidence for understanding the CoNiB catalytic mechanism of 2LiBH 4 /MgH 2
