(MgH2+Y,Ce) mixtures were processed by mechanical milling in an attempt to improve the hydrogen sorption properties of MgH2. The structural evolution and hydrogen desorption properties were investigated by a range of experimental techniques. XRD analysis shows the formation of a stable hydride phase, CeH2.35or YH3, in the relevant mixture during milling. Hydrogen desorption of the milled mixtures was characterised by coupled thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Milled (MgH2+Ce) samples show higher desorption kinetics than the (MgH2+Y). The formation of CeO2in the (MgH2+Ce) mixture benefits the desorption kinetics, likely due to the formation of surface defects on MgH2and surface catalysis by the oxide.
