The role of Mg2Si formation in the hydrogenation of Mg film and Mg nanoblade array on Si substrates

Engineering a Well-Aligned Composition-Graded CuSi Nanorod Array by an Oblique Angle Codeposition Technique

“…The calculated C Cu C and C Si C are also plotted in Figure d for comparison. Clearly, the data obtained from EDX measurements agree quite well with the calculated concentration values (within the experimental errors) …”

“…Clearly, the data obtained from EDX measurements agree quite well with the calculated concentration values (within the experimental errors). 27 The crystal structure of the graded CuSi nanorods is investigated macroscopically by XRD. From the XRD pattern (Figure 6), there are two crystalline components detected in the sample.…”

Investigating hydrogen storage behavior of CuMnO2glass-ceramic material

“…The CuMnO 2 has been applied for photocatalytic hydrogen production [9]. There are many of materials, which have been tested for hydrogen storage applications, such as, single wall carbon nanotubes, metal hydrides, organometallic compounds of multiple-decked sandwich clusters viz., M(C 6 H 6 ) 2 (M = Mn, Fe, and Co), layered materials of MPS 3 (M stands for transition metal), and nanomaterials [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The highest hydrogen evolution rate was on the CuMnO 2 -E obtained by exchange reaction with SO 3 2À as hole scavenger.…”

Crednerite glass-ceramic material (CuMnO 2 ) is used for the first time as a hydrogen storage material, and there are a number of advantages of these materials as; i) it has a layered structure consisting of edge-shared MnO 6 octahedra and twocoordinated Cu + cations at the interlayer sites, which may allow to accommodate some molecules and ii) it has interesting applications, such as, the CuMnO 2 has been applied for photocatalytic hydrogen production.…”

Studies of Mg film and substrate coupling effects on hydrogenation properties

“…It results from both the deposition method and the concomitant two-dimensional nature of the films. These particular physical properties mainly originate from: the presence of mixed crystalline and/or amorphous phases, film residual stresses resulting in some degree from disparities in film-substrate thermal properties, crystallite grain size, crystallite orientation and non-stoichiometry [1,2].…”
