The novel compound Ca{sub 3}Mg{sub 2}Ni{sub 13} has been found in the Ca-Mg-Ni system, and its crystal structure has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Ca{sub 3}Mg{sub 2}Ni{sub 13} crystallizes in space group R3-barm (No. 166); cell parameters: a = 4.9783(2) A and c = 36.180(2) A; Z = 3. The Ca{sub 3}Mg{sub 2}Ni{sub 13} structure has three blocks stacked along the c axis in one period, and each block is composed of two sub-blocks. One only contains one layer of [CaMgNi{sub 4}] units, and the other consists of one layer of [CaMgNi{sub 4}] units and one layer of [CaNi{sub 5}] units. Further investigations show that Ca{sub 3}Mg{sub 2}Ni{sub 13} has good kinetic properties but bad thermodynamic properties for hydrogen absorption-desorption. However, the Ca/Mg ratio of the Ca{sub 3}Mg{sub 2}Ni{sub 13}-type compound can be adjusted within a wide range to improve the hydrogen absorption-desorption properties. As a result, Ca{sub 1.67}Mg{sub 3.33}Ni{sub 13} shows favorable thermodynamics and has good reversibility for hydrogen absorption-desorption.
