摘要
Hydriding and dehydriding properties of MgH_(2)-x wt.%NiMn_(9.3)Al_(4.0)Co_(14.1)Fe_(3.6)(x=10,25,50)nanocomposites have been investigated in present work.Doped alloy was prepared by arc melting method and ball milled with MgH_(2)to get nanocomposites.Onset temperature as low as 180℃was observed for MgH_(2)-50 wt%system which is 80℃lower than the as-milled MgH_(2)giving 131.34 KJ/mol activation energy.Structural analysis shows tetragonal,orthorhombic and monoclinic phases for MgH_(2),Al_(60)Mn_(11)Ni_(4)and Mg_(2)NiH_(4).Morphology by SEM were undertaken to investigate the effect of hydrogenation on nanostructured alloy.DSC studies show a single broad exothermic peak in the temperature range 48℃-353℃after alloy addition in MgH_(2).These results indicate that the hydrogenation properties of MgH_(2)nanocomposite have been improved compared to the as-milled MgH_(2).
