Hydrogenation behaviour, structure, morphology and dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation performances of Mg-Pd nanocomposites prepared by high-energy reactive ball milling in H2 (HRBM) of Mg in the presence of amorphous and crystalline Pd black (0.1-5 wt.%) were studied. Improvements of hydrogenation kinetics during HRBM were observed only for the materials prepared using crystalline Pd black. The obtained nanocomposites were characterised by modest improvements in their dehydrogenation and re-hydrogenation performances associated with the formation of Mg-Pd intermetallides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
