Investigation on microstructure and mechanical properties of multiphase ZrSn1.5Alx alloy with simultaneous enhance of strength and plasticity

Potential Applications of Metal‐Doped Nanomaterials for Enhancing Solid‐State Hydrogen Storage

“…The growth of the MgH 2 phase is accelerated as it expands within the matrix with the aid of MgH 2 crystal nuclei generated during the decomposition of the MgAl phase and nucleation sites provided by Al particles. [150] The proposed hydrogen absorption and desorption mechanism for MgÀ AlÀ Zr nanocomposites, as depicted in Figure 11, is based on previous experimental findings and analysis. Upon hydrogen absorption, H 2 molecules are initially dissociated upon contact with Zrembedded particles and diffuse into the Mg matrix.…”

“…Methods for synthesizing multiphase materials for hydrogen storage involve combining different phases to create structures with enhanced hydrogen storage properties. [150] Some common methods used in the synthesis of multiphase materials for hydrogen storage are co-precipitation, sol-gel process, mechanical alloying, chemical vapor deposition, and hydrothermal synthesis. Other important methods include electrochemical deposition, template-assisted synthesis, in-situ growth methods, vacuum induction, plasma-metal reaction, and electric arc melting methods.…”

“…Other important methods include electrochemical deposition, template-assisted synthesis, in-situ growth methods, vacuum induction, plasma-metal reaction, and electric arc melting methods. [147][148][149][150][151][152] The multiphase material consisting of CaÀ NiÀ Cu alloy with a composition of 30 % Ca, 50 % Ni, and 20 % Cu was prepared by Anshul and Mohammad [148] using the vacuum induction melting method. The alloy formed is brittle and can be easily crushed to powder and activated in situ.…”
