Abstract
In this paper, CeMg12/Ni/Nb2O5 was prepared by mechanical ball milling technology for the sake of probing into the impact of Ni and Nb2O5 on microstructure and hydrogen sorption properties of alloys. The microstructure research results indicate that adding Nb2O5 can promote the formation of nanocrystal structure; through ball milling the Nb2O5 dispersed on the surface of alloy particles uniformly enhances the surface activity of the alloy and improves the hydrogen absorption and releasing kinetics of the alloy. The research on hydrogen absorption performance shows that the addition of Nb2O5 can significantly increase the hydrogen release platform pressure of the alloy hydride, the enthalpy value of hydrogen releasing process drops from 74.82 kJ/mol to 71.07 kJ/mol when the content of Nb2O5 is increased from 0 wt% to 9 wt%, the above qualitative and quantitative discussion further proves that Nb2O5 is beneficial for amending the thermodynamic stability of alloy hydride. Besides, adding Nb2O5 can remarkably reduce the hydrogen dissociation activation energy of experimental alloy hydride, ameliorating the dynamic performances of hydrogen release. The alloy with 9 wt% Nb2O5 has the smallest activation energy and the best performances of hydrogen release.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
