Mg(AlH4)2was synthesized by a metathesis reaction of MgCl2and NaAlH4. It was decomposed in the two-step reactions, in agreement with the previous report [1]. The first reaction is characteristic of the decomposition to form MgH2, and the second reaction is the further decomposition of this MgH2into some aluminum alloy phases. The decomposition temperature of the first reaction could be reduced remarkably when it was mixed with 1–5mol% TiCl3. For example, in the case of Mg(AlH4)2mixed with 5mol% TiCl3by ball-milling for 10.8ks, a large portion of hydrogen was released during the milling at ambient temperature. The decomposition temperature of the first reaction decreased with increasing content of TiCl3in the specimen. However, the re-hydrogenation reaction scarcely occurred even in the pre-decomposed TiCl3-containing specimen. For example, only 0.3mass% of hydrogen was absorbed in the 1mol% TiCl3-doped specimen by exposing it for a long period to the hydrogen atmosphere of 30MPa at 353K. This result indicates that Mg(AlH4)2is too unstable to progress the re-hydrogenation reaction smoothly. Therefore, Ca(AlH4)2was chosen next, because this seems more stable than Mg(AlH4)2, judging from the phase stability diagram of complex hydrides proposed by us [2]. Ca(AlH4)2was synthesized and its decomposition reactions were investigated in a fundamental manner.
