The transition metal complex hydride Mg 2 FeH 6 has been successfully synthesized utilizing mechanical milling of a 2Mg-Fe mixture followed by heating at 673 K under 6 MPa of hydrogen pressure, without pressing step. The obtained yield of Mg 2 FeH 6 was about 50%. Hydrogen storage properties of the Mg-Fe-H system, i.e. capacities, absorption/desorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters, were examined. The pressurecomposition isotherm (PCI) measurements of the samples at 548-673 K showed that the alloys possessed good cyclic stability and reversibility. Enthalpies and entropies of decomposition of the Mg-Fe-H system were evaluated by van't Hoff plots. The absorption/desorption rates at 573 K were very fast in comparison with the reported data. The non-isothermal desorption of hydrogen was found greatly dependent on the thermal history of the sample.
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.
