The hyper-eutectic Mg-33.5%Ni alloy was rapidly solidified by melt spinning process. The melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni has amorphous structure and crystallization occurred above $162^{\circ}C$. The hydriding and dehydriding rates of melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni increased with cycle and high rate of hydrogen storage occurred at 3rd cycle. The maximum hydrogen amount absorbed in melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni at $300^{\circ}C$ is about 4.5%.

Mg 및 Mg합금은 수소 저장량이 7.6wt.%로 비교적 높고 자원도 풍부하여 값이 싼 장점을 가지고 있으나 산화반응성이 높고 활성화 에너지가 크기 때문에 반응온도가 높고 반응시간이 긴 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 일반적으로 Mg 및 Mg합금의 표면 개질화, 금속간 화합물 형성, 전이금속 첨가에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전이금속인 Nb를 촉매제로 사용하여 수소화 특성을 개선하고자 기계적 합금화법(MA;Mechanical Alloying)을 실시하여 복합재료를 합성한 후 수소화 반응을 평가하였다. XRD, SEM, TEM, PSA, TG/DSC 분석을 수행하였으며 Sievert's 형 PCT를 이용하여 온도 및 압력 변화에 따른 특성평가를 하였다. 전이금속인 Nb의 첨가로 수소화 반응개시온도가 낮아지고 수소 저장량이 향상되는 거동을 보였다. 특히, 5mass%Nb가 10mass%Nb 보다 수소 저장량 및 반응속도가 좋은 결과를 보였다.

Electrochemical properties were studied for a single particle of active material of hydrogen storage alloy $(MmNi_{3.55}Co_{0.75}Mn_{0.4}Al_{0.3})$ and nickel hydroxides $(NiOH)_2$ for the secondary Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries using the microelectrode, which was manipulated to make electrical contact with an active material particle for cyclic voltammograms (CV) and potential-step experiments. As a result of CV test, it was found that three kinds of hydrogen oxidation peaks at -0.9, -0.75 and -0.65 V and hydrogen evolution peak at -0.98 V for hydrogen storage alloy were separately observed and two kinds of peaks of proton oxidation/reduction at 0.45 and 0.32 V and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at 0.6 V for nickel hydroxides were also more clearly observed. Furthermore hydrogen diffusion coefficient within a single particle was also found to vary the order between $10^{-9}\;and\;10^{-10}cm^2/s$ over the course of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation process for potential-step experiments.

By hydrogen induced planetary ball milling process, $Mg_2NiH_x$ hydrogen absorbing materials were successfully alloyed mechanically at room temperature, using pure Mg and Ni chips. The Mg & Ni chips were mixed by 45:55 weight ratio and Mechanical Alloying(M.A.) was carried out : the hydrogen pressure induced in the jar was varied from 1 to 20 bars and the M.A. times were 24 and 48 hours. The XRD results revealed that the homogeneous $Mg_2NiH_x$ was incresed with the hydrogen pressure increasing, and that $MgH_x$ was detected by unalloyed Ni chips. The shape and size of the mechanically alloyed particles didn't depend on the induced hydrogen pressure. The results of TGA showed that the hydrogen quantities of $Mg_2NiH_x$ has 1.1~3.9 wt%.

전 세계는 온실 가스의 방출을 줄이기 위하여 기존의 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 에너지를 찾기 위해 연구개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이러한 계속적인 연구에서, 전 세계의 국가들은 태양열, 풍력, 지열 및 수소에너지와 같이 화석연료를 대체할 다양한 가스를 조사해왔다. 대체에너지 중 수소 연료는 실제로 배출가스가 없기 때문에 가장 유망한 대안이라고 할 수 있다. 연료전지자동차용 연료로 수소를 사용하기 위해서는 저장합금, 액체 및 압축 상태로 저장할 수 있다. 이 중 세계 대부분의 자동차 메이커 들은 수소를 압축하는 방식을 채택하고 있으며, 주행거리를 확보하기 위하여 고압상태로 수소가스를 저장하는 방식을 사용한다. 수소연료전지 자동차용으로 고압의 수소를 저장할 수 있고, 자동차에 탑재할 수 있도록 가벼운 용기의 개발이 진행되고 있다. 이 중 Type3와 Type4 형태의 용기가 시범적으로 적용되고 있으며, 이러한 용기의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 기준들이 국 내외에서 개발되고 있다. 현재 국제기준 중 UN ECE의 WG.29에서 선진국들을 중심으로 수소연료전지 자동차용 용기의 안전성 평가를 위한 기준을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ISO. 15869의 기술기준에 대한 안전성 분석과 미국의 SAE J2579의 기술 보고서에서 제시한 새로운 개념의 안전성 평가 기법을 기준으로 제정되고 있는 UN ECE WG.29의 draft초안을 비교하고, 향후 수소연료전지 자동차용 용기를 위한 국내기준의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

The main emphasis of this study was to find an new hydrogen absorbing alloy such as Mg-Ti-Ni-H systems, and to investigate their hydrogenation properties. ($Mg_9Ti_x$)-10, 20wt%Ni-Hx systems were prepared by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying(HIMA) using Mg and Ni chips and sponge Ti. The particles synthesized were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and their morphologies were observed by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). In addition, the crystal structures were analyzed in terms of their bright-/ dark field images and the selected area diffraction pattern(SADP) of transmission electron microscopy(TEM).

Mg and Mg-based alloys are regarded as strong candidate hydrogen storage materials since their hydrogen capacity exceeds that of known metal hydrides. One of the approaches to improve kinetic is addition of metal oxide. In this paper, we tried to improve the hydrogenation properties of Mg-based hydrogen storage composites. The effect of transition metal oxides, such as $Nb_2O_5$ on the kinetics of the Magnesium hydrogen absorption kinetics was investigated. $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ composites have been synthesized by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. The powder fabricated was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (Fe-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), BET and simultaneous Thermo Gravimetric Analysis / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG/DSC) analysis. The Absorption / desorption kinetics of $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ (type I and II) are determined at 423, 473, 523, 573 and 623 K.
