Abstract:
Mg-based solid hydrogen storage materials is one of the most promising materials due to its high density, high safety, good reversibility and abundant resources, therefore, modification of Mg-based hydrogen storage materials becomes the main research direction. In order to develop a Mg-based hydrogen storage material with good hydrolysis performance, high hydrogen storage density and suitable for special scenarios, the performance of the material can be improved by adding metal alloys and catalysts. A new kind of solid-state hydrogen storage material based on magnesium modified by ferric carbide has been developed by laboratory study. Adding Ce and Ca in Mg, it can inhibit the deposition of Mg(OH)
2 and promote the hydrolysis reaction through the interaction.The addition of Ce can play the role of“Hydrogen pump” and promote the hydrogen absorption reaction. The addition of In can reduce the enthalpy of reaction and adjust the kinetic properties.Using single-layer porous Fe@C as catalyst, it can play a catalytic role, reduce enthalpy change value, inhibit agglomeration, promote hydrolysis performance and so on. Through the comparison of experiments, it found out that the preparation technology of Fe@C modified magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage material in batch production. The qualified Mg-based solid hydrogen storage material can be prepared by hydrogenation for 6 hours at a certain pressure and temperature. The average amount of hydrolyzed hydrogen was
1651 mL/g, the hydrogen storage density was 7.34%, average particle size 116 μm, excellent product performance, to achieve magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage materials from the laboratory grade to the industrialization of the results of preparation.
