Abstract
Nanocrystalline aluminium hydrides (alanates) are potential hydrogen storage materials for PEM fuel cell applications. Beside the reversible amount of hydrogen, kinetic and thermodynamic properties of alanate-based storage materials have still to be optimised. Progress was made in improving the kinetics of hydrogen uptake and release by a novel Ti catalyst. The available base materials, however, suffer from the low hydrogen content or unfavourable thermodynamic properties. Magnesium alanate has the potential to exchange up to 6.9 wt.% of hydrogen in its first transformation step. First measurements indicate equilibrium desorption pressures above 100 bar at the working temperatures of a PEM fuel cell.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
