Magnesium and its alloys have the high potential as hydrogen storage materials because of their highest hydrogen storage capacity, low density and abundant resources. But poor kinetic properties of hydriding and dehydriding and high working temperature have limited their practical applications. In this study, the Mg-Ni binary alloys with different amount of Ni were produced by gravity casting and characterized in order to investigate the relationship between the microstructures and hydriding properties. The maximum hydrogen absorption capacity decreased, but the absorption kinetics increased with Ni content. The difference in the absorption kinetics was resulted from the differences in the sort and shape of primary solid phases and eutectic microstructure.

Hydriding combustion synthesis (HCS) can produce full hydrides of alloys and in a short time. The conventional process based on ingot metallurgy cannot produce Mg-based alloy easily with the desired composition and the cast product needs a ling activation process for the practical use of hydrogen storage. In this study, the hydriding properties of Mg-xNi (x=5, 13.5, 54.7wt.%) alloys prepared by hydriding combustion synthesis were evaluated. The hydrogen storage capacity and kinetics of HCS Mg-xNi alloys were strongly dependent on the content of Ni. The HCS Mg-13.5wt.%Ni alloy shows the hydriding behavior to reach the maximum capacity within 30 min. and the reversible $H_2$ storage of 5.3wt.% at 623 K.

A 71.5 wt%Mg-23.5 wt%Ni-5 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ (Mg-23.5Ni-$5Fe_2O_3$) sample was prepared by a quite simple process, reactive mechanical grinding, and its hydriding and dehydriding properties were then investigated. The reactive mechanical grinding of Mg with Ni and $Fe_2O_3$ is considered to facilitate nucleation and shorten the diffusion distances of the hydrogen atoms. After the hydriding-dehydriding cycling, the Mg-23.5Ni-$5Fe_2O_3$ sample contained $Mg_2Ni$ phase. Expansion and contraction of the hydride-forming materials (Mg and $Mg_2Ni$) with the hydriding and dehydriding reactions are also considered to increase the hydriding and dehydriding rates of the mixture by forming defects and cracks leading to the fragmentation of the particles. The temperature dependence of the hydriding rate of the sample is discussed.

A 76.5wt%Mg - 23.5wt%Ni (Mg-23.5Ni) sample was prepared by reactive mechanical grinding (RMG) and its hydriding and dehydriding properties were then investigated. Activation of the Mg-23.5Ni sample was completed only after two hydriding (under 12 bar $H_2$) - dehydriding (under 1.0 bar $H_2$) cycles at 593K. The reactive mechanical grinding of Mg with Ni is considered to facilitate nucleation and shorten diffusion distances of hydrogen atoms. After hydriding - dehydriding cycling, the Mg-23.5Ni sample contained Mg2Ni phase.

By measuring the absorbed hydrogen quantity as a function of the number of cycles, the cycling properties of the Mg-15 wt%Ni-5 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ alloy were investigated. The absorbed hydrogen quantity decreased as the number of cycles increased. The $H_a$ value varied almost linearly with the number of cycles. The maintainability of absorbed hydrogen quantity at n=100 was 89.0% for the hydriding reaction time of 10 min. After the $150^{th}$ hydriding-dehydriding cycle, Mg, $Mg_2Ni$, $Mg(OH)_2$, MgO, and Fe were observed. The phases were analyzed by Rietveld analysis from the XRD patterns of the Mg-15 wt%Ni-5 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ alloy after 150 hydriding-dehydriding cycles. The crystallite size and strain of Mg were then estimated with the Williamson-Hall technique.

순수한 Mg의 수소와의 반응속도를 증가시키기 위하여 기계적으로 합금처리한 Mg-10wt.%Ni 혼합물의 수소화물 형성 분해 성질을 조사하였다. 수소화물 형성 분해 cycling을 시킴에 따라 $Mg_2Ni$상이 형성되고 그 양이 증가한다. 기계적인 합금 처리와 수소화물 형성 분해 cycling의 주요 효과는 결함의 수를 증가시키고, 비표면적을 크게하는 것으로 생각된다. 기계적으로 합금처리한 Mg-10wt.%Ni 혼합물은 활성화가 용이하게 이루어지고, 순수한 Mg, Mg-10wt.%Ni합금, Mg-25wt.%Ni합금, 그리고 $Mg_2Ni$합금과 비교하여, 수소화물 형성 속도와 수소 저장 용량이 아주 크고, 수소화물 분해 속도가 비교적 높다.

Magnesium prepared by mechanical grinding under $H_2$ (reactive mechanical grinding) with transition elements or oxides showed relatively high hydriding and dehydriding rates when the content of additives was about 20 wt%. Ni was chosen as a transition element to be added. $Fe_2O_3$ was selected as an oxide to be added. Ti was also selected since it was considered to increase the hydriding and dehydriding rates by forming Ti hydride. A sample $Mg-14Ni-3Fe_2O_3-3Ti$ was prepared by reactive mechanical grinding, and its hydrogen storage properties were examined. This sample absorbs 4.02 wt% H for 5 min, and 4.15 wt% H for 10 min, and 4.42 wt% H for 60 min at n = 2. It desorbs 2.46 wt% H for 10 min, 3.98 wt% H for 30 min, and 4.20 wt% H for 60 min at n = 2. The effects of the Ni, $3Fe_2O_3$, and Ti addition, and hydriding-dehydriding cycling were discussed.

The hydrogen storage properties of pure $MgH_2$ were studied and compared with those of pure Mg. At the first cycle, pure $MgH_2$ absorbed hydrogen very slowly at 573 K under 12 bar $H_2$. The activation of pure $MgH_2$ was completed after three hydriding-dehydriding cycles. At the $4^{th}$ cycle, the pure $MgH_2$ absorbed 1.55 wt% H for 5 min, 2.04 wt% H for 10 min, and 3.59 wt% H for 60 min, showing that the activated $MgH_2$ had a much higher initial hydriding rate and much larger $H_a$ (60 min), quantity of hydrogen absorbed for 60 min, than did activated pure Mg. The activated pure Mg, whose activation was completed after four hydriding-dehydriding cycles, absorbed 0.80 wt% H for 5 min, 1.25 wt% H for 10 min, and 2.34 wt% H for 60 min. The particle sizes of the $MgH_2$ were much smaller than those of the pure Mg before and after hydriding-dehydriding cycling. The pure Mg had larger hydrogen quantities absorbed at 573K under 12 bar $H_2$ for 60 min, $H_a$ (60 min), than did the pure $MgH_2$ from the number of cycles n = 1 to n = 3; however, the pure $MgH_2$ had larger $H_a$ (60 min) than did the pure Mg from n = 4 to n = 6.
