摘要
Electrical resistance of the Mg2Ni and Mg2NiH4 powders was measured under compressing up to 6 gigapascals (GPa), using the four-point probe method at 20°C. Effects induced by the high-pressure treatment and heating at 400°C with or without hydrogen source LiAlH4 were also studied. The structure and hydrogenation properties of the samples recovered after quenching from high pressure and high temperature were investigated employing the techniques of X-ray diffraction and thermal analyses such as differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. Decreased absorption/desorption temperatures were observed for the treated samples owing to the changes of microstructure and kinetic factor.
