A mixture ofMgH2and (7 mol%)NbF5has been mechanically milled underAratmosphere. The evolution of the materials has been studied byin situpressure monitoring, XRD, DSC, TG, TPD, SEM, and isothermal hydrogen absorption and desorption in a volumetric device. During milling,H-rich andF-rich solid solutionsMgH2−xFxandMgHyF2−yare produced. After 40 h of milling both solutions merge into a single one with formulaMgH1.60F0.40. This solid solution is stable under a thermal treatment of 90 h at 300 °C under 6000 kPa ofH2. Hydriding and dehydriding kinetics in the as-milled and cycled materials are considerably faster than inMgH2milled without additive. Desorption temperature in DSC or TG is lowered 100 °C, and the material modified withNbF5can be hydrided in less than 4 min atT= 250 °C. AH-rich solution is formed upon rehydriding the material, showing the reversibility of the process. The kinetic improvement seems to be due to a cooperative effect betweenMgHyF2−yand niobium hydride, the former providing seeding crystals forMgH2nucleation, and the latter working as a gateway for hydrogen transfer.
