Hydrogen energy holds tremendous promise as a new clean energy option. It is a convenient, safe, versatile fuel source that can be easily converted to the desired form of energy without releasing harmful emissions. Hydrogen storage, which spans both hydrogen production and hydrogen applications, plays a critical role in initiating a hydrogen economy. Apart from the traditional methods used for hydrogen storage, Mg metal has been considered to be the most suitable candidate for application as a safe hydrogen storage material. However, Mg still has several technical problems that must be solved before such an attractive light metal can be considered for use in real applications. This review article aims to present and discuss the most recent research activities (2010-2018) that have been undertaken at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) to develop and implement new categories of MgH-based nanocomposites. Comparisons between different catalytic agents used to enhance MgH properties are presented and discussed in terms of structure, morphology, thermal stability, and kinetics.
氢能作为一种新的清洁能源选择,具有巨大的潜力。它是一种便捷、安全、用途广泛的燃料源,能够在不释放有害排放物的情况下轻松转化为所需的能源形式。涵盖制氢和氢应用的储氢,在启动氢能经济中起着关键作用。除了用于储氢的传统方法外,镁金属被认为是用作安全储氢材料的最合适候选者。然而,在这种有吸引力的轻金属能够被考虑用于实际应用之前,镁仍然存在几个必须解决的技术问题。这篇综述文章旨在介绍和讨论科威特科学研究机构(KISR)在2010年至2018年期间开展的最新研究活动,这些活动旨在开发和应用新型的基于MgH的纳米复合材料。文章还根据结构、形态、热稳定性和动力学,对用于增强MgH性能的不同催化剂进行了比较和讨论。
