The design of an excellent active catalyst to improve the sluggish kinetic and thermodynamic properties of magnesium hydride(MgH2)remains a great challenge to achieve its practical application.In this study,a novel Ni-Nb/rGO nanocomposite catalyst was successfully prepared by one-spot hydrothermal and sub-sequent calcination methods.The novel Ni-Nb/rGO nanocomposite exhibits an exceptional catalytic effect on improving MgH2 sorption properties.Specifically,the onset desorption temperature of MgH2+10 wt％Ni-Nb/rGO composite is reduced to 198 ℃,much lower than that of undoped MgH2(330 ℃).In-terestingly,the composite can release 5.0,5.9,and 6.0 wt％H2 within 10 min at 245,260,and 275 ℃,respectively.Furthermore,the dehydrogenated MgH2+10 wt％Ni-Nb/rGO composite starts to absorb hydrogen even at room temperature with approximate 2.75 wt％H2 uptake at 75 ℃ under 3 MPa H2 pressure within 30 min and exhibits excellent stability by maintaining 6.0 wt％hydrogen content after 20 cycles at 300 ℃.Chou's model suggests that the de/hydrogenation kinetics of Ni-Nb/rGO-modified MgH2 switches from surface penetration model to diffusion model at lower temperatures.Additionally,the ac-tivation energies(Ea)for the de/hydrogenation of MgH2+10 wt％Ni-Nb/rGO are reduced to 57.8 kJ/mol and 33.9 kJ/mol,which are significantly lower than those of undoped MgH2.The work demonstrates that the addition of a novel ternary Ni-Nb/rGO catalyst is an effective strategy to not only boost the sorption kinetics of MgH2 but also maintain its cycling property.
