The synthesis of new materials for energy storage and conversion has received increasing attention over the last decade. This growing importance reflects the burgeoning energy demand of an escalating world population, the finite supply of fossil fuels and the urgent need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Synthetic methods in which reactions are driven mechanically (effectively by the transfer and conversion of kinetic energy) can be considered as a branch of green chemistry. Materials are impacted by pressures that are created between the grinding media and with the container walls through multiple collisions during the milling process. These events induce mechanical deformation and define the nature of the milled products. This article focuses on the application of physical and – principally – chemical (reactive) milling in the preparation of energy-related materials. For hydrogen storage, complex magnesium hydrides prepared by reactive milling exhibit lower desorption temperatures and faster kinetics ...
