In order to improve hydrogen storage properties of Mg, the intermetallic compound LaNi5 and the catalysts Ti, V have been applied to synthesise Mg-based nanostructured composites by ball milling. All samples have been ball milled with milling times up to 40h and have been tested by means of pressure-concentration isotherms (PCIs) and reaction kinetics. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been employed for structure investigation. According to the PCI results, Mg2Ni has been formed in the samples with 15 and 35 wt.% LaNi5 by prolonged ball milling. The improvement of reaction kinetics is more significant with more content of LaNi5, however, the storage capacities are degraded. The hydrogen storage properties of Mg have been further enhanced by additional catalysts of Ti and V. The Mg-based composites can desorb hydrogen at 245 degrees C with reasonable reaction rate. Desorption occurs even at a low temperature of 185 degrees C, however, with an extremely slow desorption rate. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
