$MgH_2$ was synthesized by hydriding chemical vapor deposition (HCVD). In this study, we examined the hydrogen storage property of $MgH_2$ synthesized by HCVD. The results of pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) measurement showed that the HCVDed $MgH_2$ reversibly absorbed hydrogen as much as 6 wt%. Each hydrogenation rate was very greater than the conventional alloy methods. The reason was that the particle size made by HCVD was small as approximately 1 ${\mu}m$. The PCT of $MgH_2$ made by HCVD methode was similar to a commercial $MgH_2$. The ${\Delta}H$ and ${\Delta}S$ value are respectively -76.8 $kJ/mol{\cdot}H_2$ and -137.4 $kJ/mol{\cdot}H_2$. Mg made by HCVD methode was activated easily than commercial Mg. Also the initial reaction rate was faster than that of commercial $MgH_2$. 70% of the total storage were stored during 400s.

The cycling characteristics of $MgH_2$ made by hydriding chemical vapor deposition method have been investigated. The particle size of $MgH_2$ made by HCVD was about $1{\mu}m$. The cycling experiment was performed by measuring hydrogen quantity absorbed at 673 K and under 35 atm of hydrogen pressure for 30 min. Up to 3 cycles the hydrogen storage capacity increased, but from 4 to 6 cycles the hydrogen storage capacity decreased rapidly. During this cycling test the particle size increased gradually from $1{\mu}m$ to $6{\mu}m$. This increase was due to sintering by the high reaction temperature and the heat of reaction during hydrogen absorption. From 7 to 30 cycles, the hydrogen storage capacity was maintained at 5.8 wt%. Even after 30 cycles, the plateau pressure was constant.
