Abstract:In our previous papers, we have reported the hydrogenation of MgNi 2 with C36-type structure under GPa-order hydrogen pressure. In this paper, the effect of Cu substitution in MgNi 2 was studied on the crystal structures, thermal stabilities and hydrogen contents of Mg(Ni 1Àx Cu x ) 2 hydrides (x ¼ 0{0:2). The hydrides were obtained by high pressure synthesis using cubic-anvil-type apparatus at 973 K for 8 h under 5 GPa. The hydrides were found to have primitive orthorhombic (Pmmm, x ¼ 0:0{0:1) and body-center… Show more
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.
