文摘

The phase diagram Li–Mg–N–H offers ample opportunities for potential hydrogen storage systems. Three systems based on lithium nitride, Li₃N, were investigated by time-resolved in situ methods (thermal analysis, X-ray and neutron diffraction) at temperatures up to 703 K and hydrogen gas pressures up to 9.4 MPa. Pure lithium nitride reacts in a one-step reaction to lithium amide according to Li₃N + 2H₂ → LiNH₂ + 2LiH at 1.0 MPa hydrogen pressure. Equimolar mixtures of lithium nitride with magnesium hydride, both at 1.5 and 9.4 MPa hydrogen gas pressure, react in the same way up to 543 K, i.e., magnesium hydride does not participate in the reaction. At higher temperatures, lithium magnesium nitride is formed according to the endothermic reaction LiNH₂ + MgH₂ → LiMgN + 2H₂ at moderate (≤1.5 MPa) and via the exothermic reaction Li₃N + MgH₂ → LiMgN + 2LiH at higher hydrogen gas pressures (5.0 MPa). Mixed imide Li₂Mg(NH)₂ is formed when an excess of Li₃N is used in the reaction. The hydrogenation of mixtures of lithium nitride with magnesium starts with the formation Li₂NH and Li₄NH, followed by the mixed imide Li₂Mg(NH)₂ at higher temperatures and finally the formation of Mg₃N₂ and LiH. Deuterides react accordingly.
