摘要
In this paper we present the hydrogen storage properties of a new composite MgH2 +V prepared by ball milling. Intensive milling of magnesium hydride with vanadium produces a nanocomposite of beta-MgH2+gamma-MgH2 +VH0.81. The MgH2+5 at.% V composite produced by mechanical milling can desorb hydrogen at 473 K under vacuum and re-absorb hydrogen rapidly even at room temperature. The activation energy of hydrogen desorption was measured to be 62 kJ mol(-1) H-2. The fast kinetics of the ball milled MgH2-V composite primarily comes from the catalytic effect of vanadium and the small powder size. The formation enthalpy and entropy of the composite are identical to that of pure magnesium. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
