摘要
Mgx2013;23.5 wt%Ni and Mgx2013;23.5 wt%Nix2013;5 wt%Cu alloys for hydrogen storage were prepared by melt spinning and crystallization heat treatment. The alloys were ground by a planetary ball mill for 2 h in order to obtain a fine powder. The activated Mgx2013;23.5Ni and Mgx2013;23.5Nix2013;5Cu alloys absorbed 4.34 and 4.84 wt%H, respectively, at 573 K under 12 bar H2 for 60 min. The activated Mgx2013;23.5Ni and Mgx2013;23.5Nix2013;5Cu alloys desorbed 4.27 and 4.81 wt%H, respectively, at 573 K under 1.0 bar H2 for 30 min. The hydriding rates of the alloys are quite high, even at 473 K, while the dehydriding rates of the samples at 473 K are nearly zero.
