Thermodynamic Property Change in Li-N-H Hydrogen Storage System by Melting Lithium Amide

New amide-chloride phases in the Li-Al-N-H-Cl system: formation and hydrogen storage behaviour.

New amide-chloride phases were successfully synthesized by mechanical milling of the LiNH2-AlCl3 mixture at a molar ratio of 1 : 0.11 and further heating at 150 °C under argon (0.1 MPa) or under hydrogen pressure (0.7 MPa). Powder X-ray diffraction measurements as a function of milling time increase revealed that the milling of the LiNH2-0.11AlCl3 mixture results in the formation of a FCC solid...

Destabilisation of the Li-N-H hydrogen storage system with elemental Si.

A significant improvement in the dehydrogenation kinetics of the (LiNH(2) + LiH) system was obtained upon doping with elemental Si. Whilst, complete dehydrogenation of the (LiNH(2) + LiH) system requires more than 2 h, the time required for full dehydrogenation was reduced to less than 30 min by doping with elemental Si. It is observed that Si thermodynamically destabilises the system through t...

A Process for Synthesizing the Li-Mg-N-H Hydrogen Storage System from Mg and LiNH2

Hydrogen Absorption Properties of Li-Mg-N-H System

Isothermal hydrogen absorption properties of the ball milled mixture of 3Mg(NH2)2 and 8LiH after dehydrogenation at 200 °C under high vacuum were investigated at two different temperatures of 150 and 200 °C. The pressure –composition isotherm (PCT) curve at 200 °C revealed a two-plateaus-like behavior, while the PCT curve at 150 °C showed a single-plateau-like behavior. The hydrogenated phases ...

Hydrogen Desorption/Absorption Properties of Li-Ca-N-H System

Hydrogen storage properties of two ball-milled composites of Ca(NH2)2+2LiH and CaH2+2LiNH2 were investigated as a series of searching studies of high performance hydrogen storage materials. About 4.5 mass% hydrogen is desorbed from about 100 °C and the thermal desorption profiles show a peak around 200 and 220 °C for the composites of CaH2+2LiNH2 and Ca(NH2)2+2LiH, respectively, under a helium ...
