The phase stability, structural transition, and hydrogen storage characteristics of the polymorphic La4MgNi19 compound are systematically investigated in the present work. The La4MgNi19 compound has two variants in the temperature range of 840−960 °C with a preference for a hexagonal structure (2H) at a higher temperature and a rhombohedral structure (3R) at a lower temperature. Because the structure and composition are almost identical, the polymorphic transition between the 2H and 3R phases may proceed through short-range displacements of their subunit layers. Detailed analyses on XRD patterns for the hydrided or dehydrided samples indicate that the equilibrium pressures of hydrogen absorption and desorption for the 2H phase are lower than the pressures for the 3R phase, but the pressure gap between the two phases is too small to be identified from the measured pressure−composition (P−C) isotherms. The average hydriding and dehydriding enthalpies are determined to be −32.1 and 31.5 kJ/mol H2, respective...
