The chain-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with CoFeB (CoFeB/CNTs) prepared by oxidation-reduction method is introduced into MgH2 to facilitate its hydrogen storage performance. The addition of CoFeB/CNTs enables MgH2 to start desorbing hydrogen at only 177 degrees C. Whereas pure MgH2 starts hydrogen desorption at 310 degrees C. The dehydrogenation apparent activation energy of MgH2 in CoFeB/CNTs doped-MgH2 composite is only 83.2 kJ/mol, and this is about 59.5 kJ/mol lower than that of pure MgH2. In addition, the completely dehydrogenated MgH2-10 wt% CoFeB/CNTs sample can start to absorb hydrogen at only 30 degrees C. At 150 degrees C and 5 MPa H-2, the MgH2 in CoFeB/CNTs doped-MgH2 composite can absorb 6.2 wt% H-2 in 10 min. The cycling kinetics can remain rather stable up to 20 cycles, and the hydrogen storage capacity retention rate is 98.5%. The in situ formation of Co3MgC, Fe, CoFe and B caused by the introduction of CoFeB/CNTs can provide active and nucleation sites for the dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation reactions of MgH2. Moreover, CNTs can provide hydrogen diffusion pathways while also enhancing the thermal conductivity of the sample. All of these can facilitate the dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation performance and cyclic stability of MgH2. (C) 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
