Effect of Zn and Zr addition on the synthesis of an AlH3/MgCl2 nanocomposite and its de-hydriding properties†
Abstract
This paper presents the preliminary findings of the effects of 3d transition metals on the synthesis of an AlH3/MgCl2 nanocomposite and its de-hydriding properties. The average grain size of as-milled AlH3 is 4–6 nm with a desirable hydrogen desorption content of 9.69 wt%, indicating that AlH3 is a promising hydrogen-storage material.
