Abstract

High-entropy hydrogen storage alloys possess immense potential for composition-performance modulation, yet they currently struggle to strike a balance between high capacity, stability, and low-temperature dehydrogenation. In this work, a novel TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) high-entropy alloy (HEA) was designed and dual-phase synergistic effect during the de-/hydrogenation processes was proposed. Specifically, the as-synthesized TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) alloy comprises two approximate C14 Laves phases, denoted as C14-Ⅰ and C14-Ⅱ phases. A noteworthy feature is that TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) HEA can rapidly reach a saturated capacity of 1.83 wt% H₂ at 0 °C without any activation treatment, and then desorb 1.77 wt% H₂ with a low onset dehydrogenation temperature of 20 °C. Based on experimental evidence and DFT calculations, it is concluded that dual-phase structure offers a distinguished phenomenon of binding energy crossover. Accordingly, compared with a single C14 phase, the structure with two C14 phases produces dual-phase synergistic effect, facilitating the de-/hydrogenation processes by lowering the energy barrier. In addition, the existence of phase boundaries also improves the activation performance of the alloy. Consequently, TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) HEA has excellent activation and low-temperature de-/hydrogenation performance. The innovative outcomes here provide a valuable reference for subsequent research on the low temperature de-/hydrogenation of HEAs

结合能交叉机制实现了双相 TiZrCrMnNi（VFe）高熵合金的低温储氢性能

高熵储氢合金在成分-性能调控方面具有巨大潜力，但目前还难以在高容量、稳定性和低温脱氢之间取得平衡。本研究设计了一种新型 TiZrCrMnNi（VFe）高熵合金（HEA），并提出了在脱氢/加氢过程中的双相协同效应。具体来说，合成的 TiZrCrMnNi（VFe）合金由两个近似的 C14 Laves 相组成，分别称为 C14-Ⅰ 和 C14-Ⅱ 相。一个值得注意的特点是，TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) HEA 无需任何活化处理即可在 0 °C 时迅速达到 1.83 wt% H2 的饱和容量，然后在 20 °C 的低起始脱氢温度下脱附 1.77 wt% H2。根据实验证据和 DFT 计算得出的结论是，双相结构具有独特的结合能交叉现象。因此，与单个 C14 相相比，具有两个 C14 相的结构会产生双相协同效应，通过降低能垒促进脱氢/加氢过程。此外，相界的存在也提高了合金的活化性能。因此，TiZrCrMnNi(VFe) HEA 具有优异的活化和低温脱氢/加氢性能。这些创新成果为后续的 HEA 低温脱氢/烃化研究提供了宝贵的参考。
