In this work, MgNi(Fe)H was synthesized using precursors of nano Ni(Fe) composite powder prepared through arc plasma method and coarse-grained Mg powder. The microstructure, composition, phase components and the hydrogen storage properties of the Mg-Ni(Fe) composite were carefully investigated. It is observed that the MgNi(Fe)H particles formed from the Mg-Ni(Fe) composite have a diameter of 100-240 nm and a portion of Fe in the Ni(Fe) nano particles transformed into α-Fe nano particles with the diameter of 40-120 nm. DSC measurements showed that the peak desorption temperature of the MgNi(Fe)H was reduced to 501 K and the apparent activation energy for hydrogen desorption of the MgNi(Fe)H was 97.2 kJ mol H. The formation enthalpy of MgNi(Fe)H was measured to be -53.1 kJ mol H. The improvements in hydrogen sorption kinetics and thermodynamics can be attributed to the catalytic effect from α-Fe nano particles and the destabilization of MgNiH caused by the partial substitution of Ni by Fe, respectively.
在本工作中,采用电弧等离子体法制备的纳米Ni(Fe)复合粉末前驱体和粗晶Mg粉末合成了MgNi(Fe)H。对Mg-Ni(Fe)复合材料的微观结构、组成、相成分和储氢性能进行了仔细研究。观察到由Mg-Ni(Fe)复合材料形成的MgNi(Fe)H颗粒直径为100-240nm,Ni(Fe)纳米颗粒中的一部分Fe转变为直径为40-120nm的α-Fe纳米颗粒。DSC测量表明,MgNi(Fe)H的解吸峰值温度降至501K,MgNi(Fe)H的氢解吸表观活化能为97.2kJ/mol H。测得MgNi(Fe)H的生成焓为-53.1kJ/mol H。氢吸附动力学和热力学的改善可分别归因于α-Fe纳米颗粒的催化作用和Fe对Ni的部分取代导致的MgNiH的失稳。
