In order to investigate the dehydriding properties of the $Mg_2NiH_x$ formed by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying, we performed isothermal thermogravimetry analysis at 453, 463, 473, 483, 493, 503 and 513K for 1 hours. Dehydrogenation kinetics were dependant strongly on the MA conditions which determine the In other words, kinds of synthesized hydrides phases and the crystal microstructures. The MA condition, 66:1 BCR(balls to chips mass ratio), especially 96h milling time, revealed the hydride phases of nano-/ amorphous state and the dehydriding activation energy of $43.4{\pm}3.6kJ/mole$.

Samples with compositions of 80 wt% Mg-14 wt% Ni-6 wt% $Fe_2O_3$ (named $Mg-Ni-Fe_2O_3$), and 78 wt% Mg-14 wt% Ni-6 wt% $Fe_2O_3-2$ wt% CNT (named $Mg-Ni-Fe_2O_3-CNT$ ) were prepared by reactive mechanical grinding. Hydriding and dehydriding properties and effects of CNT addition on the hydriding and dehydriding rates of $Mg-Ni-Fe_2O_3$ were then investigated. Activation of the $Mg-14Ni-6Fe_2O_3$ sample was completed after three hydriding (under 12 bar $H_2$)-dehydriding (under 1.0 bar $H_2$) cycles at 573 K. The addition of CNT to the $Mg-14Ni-6Fe_2O_3$ sample made the activation process unnecessary, with a small decrease in the hydrogen-storage capacity.

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.

기계적인 합금화는 planetary mill을 사용하여 이루어졌으며, 시료의 조성은 Mg-10wt.%Ni과 Mg-25wt.%Ni이었다. 수소화물 형성 분해 cycling에 의해 혼합물 내에 $Mg_2Ni$상이 형성되었다. Mg-10wt.%Ni, Mg-25wt.%Ni은 583K, $0{\sim}8barH_2$에서 각각 n=7, n=6정도 후 활성화가 완료되었으며, 583K, $8barH_2$에서 10분 동안에 Mg-10wt.%Ni과 Mg-25wt.%Ni 시료에 의해 흡수된 수소의 중량 퍼센트 Ha(10min)은 각각 4.99, 4.52이었다. Mg-10wt.%Ni과 Mg-25wt.%Ni 혼합물은, 다른 Mg의 합금이나 혼합물에 비해 수소화물 형성 속도는 훨씬 높고, 수소화물 분해 속도와 수소 저장 용량은 비교적 높은 우수한 수소 저장 특성을 가진 수소 저장 재료라 판단된다. 기계적인 합금 처리와 수소 화합물 형성 분해 cycling의 효과는 핵 생성 site를 만들어 주고 입자의 크기를 줄이는 것으로 생각된다.

기계적으로 합금처리한 혼합물 속에 포함된 Mg의 수소 저장 성질의, 시료 내의 Ni의 중량 백분율에 따른 변화를 조사하였다. Ni 중량을 기준으로 한, Mg2Ni 상을 형성한 Ni의 중량 백분율은 Mg-10wt.%Ni 시료에서 가장 높다. 첫번째 수소화물 형성 싸이클에서, Mg의 수소화물 형성 속도에 미치는 기계적 합금처리의 효과는 Mg-25wt.%Ni 시료에서 가장 높다. 활성화 후에는, 기계적 합금처리와 수소화물 형성 분해 싸이클링이 Mg의 수소화물 형성 속도에 미치는 효과는 Mg-10wt.%Ni 시료에서 가장 높다. 충분한 수소화물 형성 분해 싸이클링 후에는 Mg의 수소 저장 용량에 미치는 효과는 Mg-10wt.%Ni에서 가장 높다. Mg의 수소화물 형성 속도와 분해 속도에 미치는 효과는 Mg-25wt.%Ni 시료에서 가장 높다. 시료 내에 포함된 Mg의 수소 저장 성질에 가장 좋은 효과를 가지고 있는 최적의 조성은 Mg-25wt.%Ni이고 그 다음이 Mg-10wt.%Ni이다. 기계적 합금 처리와 수소화물 형성 분해 싸이클링은, 활발한 핵 생성 자리 역할을 할 수 있는 많은 결함을 만들고, 비 표면적을 증가시켜 수소의 확산 거리를 짧게한다.

Global energy shortage problem is expected to increase driven by strong energy demand growth from developing countries. Nuclear fusion power offers the prospect of an almost infinite source of energy for future generations. Hydrogen isotope storage and delivery system is a important subsystem of a nuclear fusion fuel cycle. Metal hydride is a method of the high-density storage of hydrogen isotope. For the safety storage of hydrogen isotope, depleted uranium (DU) has been widely proposed. But DU needs a safe test because It is a radioactive substance. The authors studied a small-scale DU bed and a medium-scale DU bed for the safety test. And then we made a large-scale DU bed and stored hydrogen isotopes in the bed. Before the hydriding/dehydriding, we tested it's heating and cooling properties and carried out an activation procedure. As a result, Reaction rate of DU-$H_2$ is more rapid than the other metal hydride ZrCo. Through the successful storage result of our large bed, the development possibility of the hydrogen isotope storage technology seems promising.

The hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics of microencapsulated (CFM)$Ni_{4.7}Al_{0.2}Fe_{0.1}$ and $MmNi_4Fe$ powder with Ni and/or Cu by means of chemical plating method have been investigated. Initial hydrogen absorption rate and activation property were increased remarkably by encapsulation and subsequent compacting. Pellets abtained by compacting of Cu-encapsulated fine powder have fairly good strength even after 30 cycles of hydriding and dehydriding. Encapsulated alloy powder and their compacts show a good resistance to degradation by $O_2$ or CO in hydrogen.

Ti-Cr alloys consist of BCC solid solution, C36, C14 and C15 Laves phase at high temperature. Among others, the BCC solid solution phase was reported to have a high hydrogen storage capacity. However, activation, wide range of hysteresis at hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, and degradation of hydrogen capacity due to hydriding/dehydriding cycles must be improved for its application. In this study, to improve such problems, we added a Nb. For attaining target materials, Ti-10Cr-xNb(x=1, 3, 5wt.%) specimens were prepared by arc melting. The arc melting process was carried out under argon atmosphere. As-received specimens were characterized using XRD(X-ray diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) with EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray) and TG/DSC(Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry). In order to examine hydrogenation behavior, the PCI(pressure-Composition-Isotherm) was performed at 293, 323, 373 and 423K.

Ti and Ti based hydrogen storage alloys have been thought to be the third generation of alloys with a high hydrogen capacity, which makes it difficult to handle because of high reactivity. In order to solve the problem, the activation of a wide range of hysteresis of hydriding/dehydriding and without degradation of hydrogen capacity due to the hydriding/dehydriding cycle have to be improved in order to be aplied. Ti-Cr alloys have a high capacity about 0.8 wt.% in an ambient atmosphere. When the Ti-Cr alloys are added to Nb and Ta elements, they formed a laves phase in the alloy system. The Nb element was expected to make easy diffuse hydrogen in the Ti-Cr storage alloy, which was a catalytic element. In this study, the Ti-Nb-Cr ternary alloy was prepared by melt spinning. As-received specimens were characterized using XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) with EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray) and TG/DSC (Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry). In order to examine hydrogenation behavior, the PCI (Pressure-Composition-Isotherm) was performed at 293, 323, 373 and 423 K.

Mg-23.5 wt%Ni-xwt%Cu (x = 2.5, 5 and 7.5) samples for hydrogen storage were prepared by melt spinning and crystallization heat treatment from a Mg-23.5 wt%Ni-5 wt%Cu alloy synthesized by the gravity casting method. They were then ground under $H_2$ to obtain a fine powder. Among these samples the Mg-23.5Ni-2.5Cu sample had the highest hydriding and dehydriding rates after activation. The Mg-23.5Ni-2.5Cu sample absorbed 3.59 and 4.01 wt%H for 10 and 60 min, respectively, at 573K under 12 bar $H_{2}$. The activated 88(87.5Mg-10Ni-2.5Cu)-$5Nb_{2}O_{5}-7NbF_{5}$ sample absorbed 2.93 wt%H for 10 min, and 3.14 wt%H for 60 min at 573K under 12 bar $H_{2}$.
