Enhancing reversible hydrogen storage performance of 2LiBH4-MgH2 via in-situ building heterogeneous nucleation sites

2LiBH4-MgH2 composite is one of the most attractive reactive hydride composites with a theoretic hydrogen capacity of 10.8 wt%.However,the large nucleation restriction of MgB2 during the second step of dehydrogenation results in sluggish hydrogen storage kinetics and high operating temperature,which hinders its practical application as on-board hydrogen storage mate-rials.Herein,Al3Ti doped Al nanoparticles(AT NPs)are prepared by a facile chemical reduction reaction to improve the hydrogen storage performance of 2LiBH4-MgH2 composite.During the initial H2 desorption process,MgAlB4 and TiB2 that have identical crystal structure and low d-value mismatch with MgB2 resulting from the reaction between AT NPs and 2LiBH4-MgH2 composite serve as effective nucleation sites for the formation of MgB2.As a result,the apparent activation energy of the two-step H2 desorption of AT NPs doped 2LiBH4-MgH2 composite are notably decreased to(110.0±5.9)and(119.6±1.4)kJ·mol-1,which is 55.5 and 33.5 kJ.mol-1 lower than that of the undoped sample.More importantly,a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 9.2 wt%after 10 cycles of H2 desorption and adsorption could be achieved,corresponding to a capacity retention rate of 99%.The building of reactive bimetallic catalyst towards in situ formation of heterogeneous nucleation sites provides a new strategy for improving the hydrogen storage performance of reactive hydride composites.
