Abstract
Hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behavior of a model HfNbTiZr medium entropy alloy (MEA) was systematically investigated to elucidate the effect of lattice defects on hydrogen storage properties. The densities of grain boundaries and dislocations in the MEA were precisely tailored through deformation and annealing processes. Electrochemical hydrogen charging followed by thermal desorption spectroscopy was employed to assess hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behavior. The specimen ultrahigh-strained by high-pressure torsion (HPT) exhibited superior hydrogenation kinetics. Cold rolled specimens displayed fast kinetics in the initial stage of hydrogenation. While annealed (fully recrystallized) specimens showed enhanced kinetics in the later stage, eventually reaching hydrogen content comparable to the HPT-processed specimen. Dehydrogenation kinetics were analyzed using the Kissinger model to extract hydrogen binding energies with different types of lattice defects. The results indicate that dislocations and vacancies act as isolated strong hydrogen trapping sites, whereas grain boundaries facilitate hydrogen transport during hydrogenation/dehydrogenation owing to their larger free volumes and interconnected nature.
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.
