The rates of the dehydrogenation of the sodium alanates NaAlH4 and Na3AlH6 doped with 2 mol % Ti or Zr have been measured over the temperature range 363−423 K. NaAlH4 and Na3AlH6 undergo dehydrogenation at equal rates upon direct doping with titanium. However, Na3AlH6 arising from the dehydrogenation of Ti-doped NaAlH4 undergoes dehydrogenation at much slower rates. Rate constants were determined from the slopes of the dehydrogenation profiles. On the basis of Eyring theory, the enthalpies of activation, ΔH⧧, for the dehydrogenation reactions were determined to be ∼100 kJ·mol-1 for both Ti-doped NaAlH4 and Na3AlH6 and ∼135 kJ·mol-1 for both Zr-doped NaAlH4 and Na3AlH6. These results suggest that the dehydrogenation reaction pathways are highly sensitive to the nature and distribution of the dopant but not to differences in the Al−H bonding interactions in [AlH4]- and [AlH6]3- complex anions. Furthermore, we conclude that the kinetics are probably influenced by processes such as nucleation and growth and/o...
