From the analysis of the onset desorption temperature and isothermal de/absorption kinetics, it was shown that MgH+ 5 wt% KNiFsample has the best performance. The 5wt% doped sample started to release hydrogen at about 260 °C, which was a reduction of about 95 °C and 157 oC compared with the as-milled and as-received MgH. In addition, the de/absorption kinetics of the MgH+ 5 wt% KNiFwere also improved significantly compared to the un-doped MgH. The apparent activation energy for hydrogen desorption exhibited the decrement from 167.0 k J/mol for as-milled MgHto 111.0 k J/mol with the addition of 5 wt% KNiF. Moreover, the X-ray diffraction spectra displayed the formation of new phases of KF, KH, MgNi and MgNiHby doping the KNiFwith MgHafter the dehydrogenation and rehydrogenation processes. The scanning electron microscope results revealed that MgHdoped with 5 wt% KNiFdemonstrated the smallest particle size compared to the as-received and as-milled MgH. It is believed that the formation of in situ active species of KF, KH, and MgNi could provide a synergetic catalytic effect in enhancing the hydrogen sorption properties of MgH.展开更多
