Microstructural and Kinetic Evolution of Fe Doped MgH2 during H2 Cycling

  • Amelia Montone,
  • Annalisa Aurora,
  • Daniele Mirabile Gattia and
  • Marco Vittori Antisari

24 September 2012

The effect of extended H2 sorption cycles on the structure and on the hydrogen storage performances of MgH2 powders with 5 wt% of Fe particle catalyst is reported. MgH2 powders with and without Fe have been ball milled under Argon, the doped MgH2 nan...

  • Elena Taboada,
  • Elies Molins and
  • Jordi Llorca

19 September 2012

Cobalt talc doped with iron (Fe/Co~0.1) and dispersed in SiO2 aerogel was prepared from silica alcogel impregnated with metal nitrates by supercritical drying. Catalytic honeycombs were prepared following the same procedure, with the alcogel synthesi...

  • Oscar-Hernan Giraldo,
  • Franz-Edwin López-Suárez,
  • Maria-Jose Illán-Gómez and
  • Agustin Bueno-López

11 September 2012

Alumina-supported manganese catalysts with cryptomelane and/or birnessite structure have been prepared using a simple method based on the thermal decomposition of potassium permanganate. The samples have been characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA, DSC, N2...

Catalytic Effect of Nb2O5 in MgH2-Nb2O5 Ball-Milled Composites

  • Tao Ma,
  • Shigehito Isobe,
  • Yongming Wang,
  • Naoyuki Hashimoto and
  • Somei Ohnuki

10 September 2012

We report a study on the desorption properties, crystallography and chemical state of MgH2 and 1 mol% Nb2O5 ball-milled composites. Desorption temperatures of the composites decreased with increase of ball-milling time. Size of MgH2 crystallites decr...

Superior MgH2 Kinetics with MgO Addition: A Tribological Effect

  • José-Ramón Ares-Fernández and
  • Kondo-Francois Aguey-Zinsou

13 August 2012

The kinetics of hydrogen absorption/desorption in magnesium can be improved without any catalysis assistance and MgO was found to be more effective than the best catalyst reported so far, i.e., Nb2O5. Herein, a quantitative analysis of the hydrogen k...
