Abstract
MARTINEZ-FRANCO, E.; KLASSEN, T.; JARAMILLO-VIGUERAS, D. and BORMANN, R.. Hydrogen Sorption Properties of the Intermetallic Mg2Ni Obtained by Using a Simoloyer Ball Milling. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.3, pp.325-332. ISSN 2594-0732.
Intermetallic Mg2Ni was produced from elemental powder blends by mechanical alloying in a batch scale using a rotary horizontal mill (Simoloyer). Fast hydrogenation kinetics are obtained: 2.2 wt.% of hydrogen is absorbed within 10 minutes at 300 °C. Hydrogen sorption kinetics were further improved by adding Pd (1 mol%) powder as a catalyst during ball milling. Crack formation and concomitant particle size reduction was observed by scanning electron microscopy after hydrogen cycling, which is attributed to internal stresses in the particles.
Keywords : High-energy ball milling (Simoloyer); hydrogen storage; particle size evolution.
