Abstract

The objective of this works was to synthesize the$Mg_2Ni$ hydrogen storage materials economically and to eliminate the intial activation process. $Mg_2NiH_x$ was mechanically alloyed under purified hydrogen gas atmosphere using pure Mg and Ni chips. M.A(Mechanical Alloying) was carried out using planetary ball mill for times varying from 12h to 96h under 20bars of hydrogen gas pressure. $Mg_2NiH_x$ started to form after 48h and the homogeneous $Mg_2NiH_x$ composites was synthesized after 96h. From TG analysis, the dehydriding reaction of $Mg_2NiH_x$ started at around $200^{\circ}C$. The result of P-C-T at $300^{\circ}C$ revealed the hydrogen storage capacity of $Mg_2NiH_c$ reached 3.68 wt% and the effective hydrogen storage was 2.38 wt%. The enthalpy difference of absorption-desorption cycling for the hydride formation and the hysteresis were reduced and the plateau flatness and the sloping were improved according to M.A time.
