In the present work we investigate the hydrogen sorption mechanism in a MgH(2)/Nb(2)O(5) composite and analyze why Nb(2)O(5) could strongly improve hydrogen sorption kinetics in magnesium. Hereby we make use of the fact that Nb(2)O(5) nanoparticles are able to reduce the milling time significantly with the achievement of excellent sorption kinetics, and can so exclude effects occurring at long-term milling that make difficult the study of the mechanism. On the basis of extensive chemical, crystalline, and microstructural characterization of the MgH(2)/Nb(2)O(5) nanopowder system, a "pathway model" is proposed, which explains the kinetic hydrogen sorption improvement by a formation of pathways of niobium oxide species with lower oxidation state that facilitate the hydrogen transport into the sample. This mechanism is shown to be supported by additional oxidation experiments, which indicate increased oxygen diffusion through these pathways.  相似文献

The possibility of generating MgH(2) nanoparticles from Grignard reagents was investigated. To this aim, five Grignard compounds, i.e. di-n-butylmagnesium, tert-butylmagnesium chloride, allylmagnesium bromide, m-tolylmagnesium chloride, and methylmagnesium bromide were selected for the potential inductive effect of their hydrocarbon group in leading to various magnesium nanostructures at low temperatures. The thermolysis of these Grignard reagents was characterised in order to determine the optimal conditions for the formation of MgH(2). In particular, the use of di-n-butylmagnesium was found to lead to self-assembled and stabilized nanocrystalline MgH(2) structures with an impressive hydrogen storage capacity, i.e. 6.8 mass%, and remarkable hydrogen kinetics far superior to that of milled or nanoconfined magnesium. Hence, it was possible to achieve hydrogen desorption without any catalyst at 250 °C in less than 2 h, while at 300 °C, hydrogen desorption took only 15 min. These superior performances are believed to result from the unique physical properties of the MgH(2) nanocrystalline architecture obtained after hydrogenolysis of di-n-butylmagnesium.  相似文献

MgH(2)-TiH(2) nanocomposites have been obtained by reactive ball milling of elemental powders under 8 MPa of hydrogen pressure. The composites consist of a mixture of β-rutile MgH(2), γ-orthorhombic high pressure MgH(2) and ε-tetragonal TiH(2) phases with nanosized crystallites ranging from 4 to 12 nm. In situ hydrogen absorption curves on milling reveal that nanocomposite formation occurs in less than 50 min through the consecutive synthesis of the TiH(2) and MgH(2) phases. The abrasive and catalytic properties of TiH(2) speed up the formation of the MgH(2) phase. Thermodynamic, kinetic and cycling hydrogenation properties have been determined for the 0.7MgH(2)-0.3TiH(2) composite and compared to nanometric MgH(2). Only the MgH(2) phase desorbs hydrogen reversibly at moderate temperature (523 to 598 K) and pressure (10(-3) to 1 MPa). The presence of TiH(2) does not modify the thermodynamic properties of the Mg/MgH(2) system. However, the MgH(2)-TiH(2) nanocomposite exhibits outstanding kinetic properties and cycling stability. At 573 K, H-sorption takes place in less than 100 s. This is 20 times faster than for a pure nanometric MgH(2) powder. We demonstrate that the TiH(2) phase inhibits grain coarsening of Mg, which allows extended nucleation of the MgH(2) phase in Mg nanoparticles before a continuous and blocking MgH(2) hydride layer is formed. The low crystallinity of the TiH(2) phase and its hydrogenation properties are also compatible with a gateway mechanism for hydrogen transfer from the gas phase to Mg. Mg-rich MgH(2)-TiH(2) nanocomposites are an excellent media for hydrogen storage at moderate temperatures.  相似文献

We have developed a reactive force field (ReaxFF(MgH)) for magnesium and magnesium hydride systems. The parameters for this force field were derived from fitting to quantum chemical (QM) data on magnesium clusters and on the equations of states for condensed phases of magnesium metal and magnesium hydride crystal. The force field reproduces the QM-derived cell parameters, density, and the equations of state for various pure Mg and MgH(2) crystal phases as well as and bond dissociation, angle bending, charge distribution, and reaction energy data for small magnesium hydride clusters. To demonstrate one application of ReaxFF(MgH), we have carried out MD simulations on the hydrogen absorption/desorption process in magnesium hydrides, focusing particularly on the size effect of MgH(2) nanoparticles on H(2) desorption kinetics. Our results show a clear relationship between grain size and heat of formation of MgH(2); as the particle size decreases, the heat of formation increases. Between 0.6 and 2.0 nm, the heat of formation ranges from -16 to -19 kcal/Mg and diverges toward that of the bulk value (-20.00 kcal/Mg) as the particle diameter increases beyond 2 nm. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that Mg nanoparticles formed by ball milling (20-100 nm) do not exhibit any significant change in thermochemical properties.  相似文献

The microstructure and absorption/desorption characteristics of composite MgH2 and 5 wt % as-prepared single-walled carbon nanotubes (MgH2-5ap) obtained by the mechanical grinding method were investigated. Experimental results show that the MgH2-5ap sample exhibits faster absorption kinetics and relatively lower desorption temperature than pure MgH2 or MgH2-purified single-walled carbon nanotube composite. Storage capacities of 6.0 and 4.2 wt % hydrogen for the MgH2-5ap composite were achieved in 60 min at 423 and 373 K, respectively. Furthermore, its desorption temperature was reduced by 70 K due to the introduction of as-prepared single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). In addition, the different effects of SWNTs and metallic catalysts contained in the as-prepared SWNTs were also investigated and a hydrogenation mechanism was proposed. It is suggested that metallic particles may be mainly responsible for the improvement of the hydrogen absorption kinetics, and SWNTs for the enhancement of hydrogen absorption capacity of MgH2.  相似文献

We examined the catalytic effect of nanoparticle 3d-transition metals on hydrogen desorption (HD) properties of MgH(2) prepared by mechanical ball milling method. All the MgH(2) composites prepared by adding a small amount of nanoparticle Fe(nano), Co(nano), Ni(nano), and Cu(nano) metals and by ball milling for 2 h showed much better HD properties than the pure ball-milled MgH(2) itself. In particular, the 2 mol % Ni(nano)-doped MgH(2) composite prepared by soft milling for a short milling time of 15 min under a slow milling revolution speed of 200 rpm shows the most superior hydrogen storage properties: A large amount of hydrogen ( approximately 6.5 wt %) is desorbed in the temperature range from 150 to 250 degrees C at a heating rate of 5 degrees C/min under He gas flow with no partial pressure of hydrogen. The EDX micrographs corresponding to Mg and Ni elemental profiles indicated that nanoparticle Ni metals as catalyst homogeneously dispersed on the surface of MgH(2). In addition, it was confirmed that the product revealed good reversible hydriding/dehydriding cycles even at 150 degrees C. The hydrogen desorption kinetics of catalyzed and noncatalyzed MgH(2) could be understood by a modified first-order reaction model, in which the surface condition was taken into account.  相似文献

We have synthesized a new metastable metal hydride with promising hydrogen storage properties. Body centered cubic (bcc) magnesium niobium hydride (Mg(0.75)Nb(0.25))H(2) possesses 4.5 wt% hydrogen gravimetric density, with 4 wt% being reversible. Volumetric hydrogen absorption measurements yield an enthalpy of hydride formation of -53 kJ mol(-1) H(2), which indicates a significant thermodynamic destabilization relative to the baseline -77 kJ mol(-1) H(2) for rutile MgH(2). The hydrogenation cycling kinetics are remarkable. At room temperature and 1 bar hydrogen it takes 30 minutes to absorb a 1.5 μm thick film at sorption cycle 1, and 1 minute at cycle 5. Reversible desorption is achieved in about 60 minutes at 175 °C. Using ab initio calculations we have examined the thermodynamic stability of metallic alloys with hexagonal close packed (hcp) versus bcc crystal structure. Moreover we have analyzed the formation energies of the alloy hydrides that are bcc, rutile or fluorite.  相似文献

Efficient hydrogen storage plays a key role in realizing the incoming hydrogen economy. However, it still remains a great challenge to develop hydrogen storage media with high capacity, favourable thermodynamics, fast kinetics, controllable reversibility, long cycle life, low cost and high safety. To achieve this goal, the combination of lightweight materials and nanostructures should offer great opportunities. In this article, we review recent advances in the field of chemical hydrogen storage that couples lightweight materials and nanostructures, focusing on Mg/MgH(2)-based systems. Selective theoretical and experimental studies on Mg/MgH(2) nanostructures are overviewed, with the emphasis on illustrating the influences of nanostructures on the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation mechanisms and hydrogen storage properties such as capacity, thermodynamics and kinetics. In particular, theoretical studies have shown that the thermodynamics of Mg/MgH(2) clusters below 2 nm change more prominently as particle size decreases.  相似文献

Magnesium hydride is cheap and contains 7.7 wt % hydrogen, making it one of the most attractive hydrogen storage materials. However, thermodynamics dictate that hydrogen desorption from bulk magnesium hydride only takes place at or above 300 degrees C, which is a major impediment for practical application. A few results in the literature, related to disordered materials and very thin layers, indicate that lower desorption temperatures are possible. We systematically investigated the effect of crystal grain size on the thermodynamic stability of magnesium and magnesium hydride, using ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional theory calculations. Also, the stepwise desorption of hydrogen was followed in detail. As expected, both magnesium and magnesium hydride become less stable with decreasing cluster size, notably for clusters smaller than 20 magnesium atoms. However, magnesium hydride destabilizes more strongly than magnesium. As a result, the hydrogen desorption energy decreases significantly when the crystal grain size becomes smaller than approximately 1.3 nm. For instance, an MgH2 crystallite size of 0.9 nm corresponds to a desorption temperature of only 200 degrees C. This predicted decrease of the hydrogen desorption temperature is an important step toward the application of Mg as a hydrogen storage material.  相似文献

铌基半导体光催化材料因其具有独特的晶体结构和能带结构在光催化分解水制氢领域受到科研工作者的高度关注.然而,大多数铌基半导体光催化剂仅能够在紫外光驱动下实现光催化分解水制氢,具有可见光响应的铌基半导体光催化剂不仅数量少而且活性较低,因此发展新型纳米铌基半导体光催化剂并实现其高效可见光催化分解水产氢具有重要的学术和实用意义.具有烧绿石构型的Sn_2Nb_2O_7材料由于具有较窄的禁带宽度(2.4 e V)和合适的导带和价带电势在可见光催化分解水制氢方面引起了科研人员广泛的兴趣.然而,目前报道的利用高温固相法制备的块体Sn_2Nb_2O_7材料由于颗粒尺寸较大和比表面积较小而导致光催化活性较差.因此,发展一种简便高效的制备方法实现纳米Sn_2Nb_2O_7材料的可控制备进而提高其可见光催化活性仍具有一定的挑战性.我们发展了一种简便的两步水热合成方法实现了Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶的可控制备.扫描电镜和透射电镜测试结果表明,通过两步水热法得到的Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米颗粒具有较好分散度,其平均颗粒尺寸为20 nm.X射线衍射测试结果也进一步证明,通过两步水热法可以实现Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶的可控制备.比表面积测试结果表明,Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶的比表面积约为52.2 m~2/g,远远大于固相法制备的块体Sn_2Nb_2O_7材料(2.3 m~2/g).大量研究表明,大的比表面积有利于半导体催化材料催化活性的提升.通过考查所制备的Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶的可见光分解水制氢能力,对其催化性能进行了评价.研究结果表明,以乳酸为空穴消耗剂,负载0.3wt.%Pt纳米颗粒作为助催化剂的Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶表现出优异的可见光催化分解水产氢性能,其产氢速率是块体Sn_2Nb_2O_7材料的5.5倍.Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶可见光催化分解水产氢性能提高的主要原因是其具有高分散度的纳米颗粒、较大的比表面积和更正的价带电势.首先,颗粒尺寸的纳米化能够显著减小光生电子和空穴的迁移距离,实现光生载流子快速迁移到催化剂表面进而参与催化反应;其次,大的比表面积能够提供更多的催化活性位点,进而有利于催化活性的提高;最后,X射线光电子能谱测试表明,Sn_2Nb_2O_7纳米晶具有更正的价带电势,研究表明,价带电势越正,其光生空穴氧化能力越强.在光催化分解水制氢过程中,具有较强氧化能力的光生空穴通过与空穴牺牲剂乳酸快速反应而被消耗掉,抑制了光生电子与空穴的复合,进而导致其具有较高的光催化产氢活性.  相似文献

SrCe0.92 Nb 0.03 Tm0.05 O 3-δ powders were synthesized by a modified sol-gel method using citrate as a chelating agent.X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis verified SrCe 0.92 Nb 0.03 Tm 0.05 O 3-δ powders and membranes consisting of a single perovskite phase.The morphologies of the sintered membranes were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) technique.Stability tests demonstrated that the Nb introduction into doped strontium cerate greatly enhanced the chemical stability.Electrical conductivities of SrCe 0.92 Nb 0.03 Tm 0.05 O 3-δ and SrCe 0.95 Tm 0.05 O 3-δ were measured by the four-point DC method under 10% H 2 /He atmosphere and temperatures(700-900℃).With a maximum conductivity of 0.0067 S cm-1 at 900℃,the total electrical conductivity of SrCe 0.92 Nb 0.03 Tm 0.05 O 3-δ increases with increasing temperature.The H 2 permeation flux of SrCe 0.92 Nb 0.03 Tm 0.05 O 3-δ is 0.035 mL cm-2 min-1 when 40% H 2 /He and Ar were used respectively as the feed and sweeping gases at 900℃.  相似文献

A significant improvement of hydrogen storage properties was achieved by introducing MgH(2) into the 6LiBH(4)-CaH(2) system. It was found that ~8.0 wt% of hydrogen could be reversibly stored in a 6LiBH(4)-CaH(2)-3MgH(2) composite below 400 °C and 100 bar of hydrogen pressure with a stepwise reaction, which is superior to the pristine 6LiBH(4)-CaH(2) and LiBH(4) samples. Upon dehydriding, MgH(2) first decomposed to convert to Mg and liberate hydrogen with an on-set temperature of ~290 °C. Subsequently, LiBH(4) reacted with CaH(2) to form CaB(6) and LiH in addition to further hydrogen release. Hydrogen desorption from the 6LiBH(4)-CaH(2)-3MgH(2) composite finished at ~430 °C in non-isothermal model, a 160 °C reduction relative to the 6LiBH(4)-CaH(2) sample. JMA analyses revealed that hydrogen desorption was a diffusion-controlled reaction rather than an interface reaction-controlled process. The newly produced Mg of the first-step dehydrogenation possibly acts as the heterogeneous nucleation center of the resultant products of the second-step dehydrogenation, which diminishes the energy barrier and facilitates nucleation and growth, consequently reducing the operating temperature and improving the kinetics of hydrogen storage.  相似文献

The use of the interaction of two hydrides is a well-known concept used to increase the hydrogen equilibrium pressure of composite mixtures in comparison to that of pure systems. The thermodynamics and reaction kinetics of such hydride composites are reviewed and experimentally verified using the example NaBH(4) + MgH(2). Particular emphasis is placed on the measurement of the kinetics and stability using thermodesorption experiments and measurements of pressure-composition isotherms, respectively. The interface reactions in the composite reaction were analysed by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and by simultaneously probing D(2) desorption from NaBD(4) and H(2) desorption from MgH(2). The observed destabilisation is in quantitative agreement with the calculated thermodynamic properties, including enthalpy and entropy. The results are discussed with respect to kinetic limitations of the hydrogen desorption mechanism at interfaces. General aspects of modifying hydrogen sorption properties via hydride composites are given.  相似文献

The structure of the cubic polymorph of magnesium tetrahydroborate (γ-Mg(BH(4))(2)) has been determined in space group Ia3[combining macron]d from a structural database of the isoelectronic compound SiO(2); this has been corroborated by DFT calculations. The structure is found to concur with that recently determined by Filinchuk et al. (Y. Filinchuk, B. Richter, T. R. Jensen, V. Dmitriev, D. Chernyshov and H. Hagemann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2011, DOI: 10.1002/anie.201100675). The phase transformations and subsequent decomposition of γ-Mg(BH(4))(2) on heating have been ascertained from variable-temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction data combined with thermogravimetric and mass spectrometry measurements. At ~160 °C, conversion to a disordered variant of the β-Mg(BH(4))(2) phase (denoted as β') is observed along with a further unidentified polymorph. There is evidence of amorphous phases during decomposition but there is no direct crystallographic indication of the existence of Mg(B(12)H(12)) or other intermediate Mg-B-H compounds. MgH(2) and finally Mg are observed in the X-ray diffraction data after decomposition.  相似文献

NaNbO(3) powders with various particle sizes (ranging from 30 nm to several microns) and well-controlled stoichiometry were obtained through microemulsion-mediated synthesis. The effect of particle size on the phase transformation of the prepared NaNbO(3) powders was studied using X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear site group analysis based on these spectroscopic data. Coarsened particles exhibit an orthorhombic Pbcm (D(2h)(11), no. 57) structure corresponding to the bulk structure, as observed for single crystals or powders prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. The crystal symmetry of submicron powders was refined with the space group Pmc2(1) (C(2v)(2), no. 26). The reduced perovskite cell volumes of these submicron powders were most expanded compared to all the other structures. Fine particles with a diameter of less than 70 nm as measured from SEM observations showed an orthorhombic Pmma (D(2h)(5), no. 51) crystal symmetry. The perovskite formula cell of this structure was pseudocubic and was the most compact one. A possible mechanism of the phase transformation is suggested.  相似文献

Reversible storage of hydrogen in destabilized LiBH4   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Destabilization of LiBH4 for reversible hydrogen storage has been studied using MgH2 as a destabilizing additive. Mechanically milled mixtures of LiBH4 + (1/2)MgH2 or LiH + (1/2)MgB2 including 2-3 mol % TiCl3 are shown to reversibly store 8-10 wt % hydrogen. Variation of the equilibrium pressure obtained from isotherms measured at 315-400 degrees C indicate that addition of MgH2 lowers the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation enthalpy by 25 kJ/(mol of H2) compared with pure LiBH4. Formation of MgB2 upon dehydrogenation stabilizes the dehydrogenated state and, thereby, destabilizes the LiBH4. Extrapolation of the isotherm data yields a predicted equilibrium pressure of 1 bar at approximately 225 degrees C. However, the kinetics were too slow for direct measurements at these temperatures.  相似文献

Sol-gel routes were used to prepare pure and 5 at% and 10 at% Ta- or Nb-dope TiO2 nano-sized powders. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the precursors was studied using simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the powders heated to 400°C were crystalline in the anatase TiO2 structure. The pure TiO2 powder heated to 850°C showed the rutile structure. The addition of Ta and Nb inhibited the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation up to 950–1050°C. Ta was soluble in the titania lattice up to the concentration of 10 at%, while the solubility of Nb was 5 at%. Thick films were fabricated with these powders by screen printing technology and then fired for 1 h at different temperatures in the 650–1050°C range. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations showed that the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation induces a grain growth of about one order of magnitude for pure TiO2. The addition of Ta and Nb is effective to keep the TiO2 grain size at a nanometric level even at 950°C, though grain growth was observed with increasing temperature. The gas-sensitive electrical response of the thick films were tested in laboratory, in environments with CO in dry and wet air. Conductance measurements showed a good gas response only for the nanostructured titania-based films. For field tests, the prototype sensors were placed beside a conventional station for atmospheric pollutant monitoring. The electrical response of the thick films was compared with the results of the analytical instruments. The same trend was observed for both systems, demonstrating the use of gas sensors for this aim.  相似文献

The effect of the Sb and Nb additives on the V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH(3) was investigated. The experimental results show that either Nb or Sb can improve the activity of V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) catalyst. Higher Nb loading led to higher N(2) selectivity. The co-doping of Sb and Nb showed higher improving effect than the single doping of Sb or Nb. The V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) catalyst doped with Sb and Nb had a better H(2)O resistance than the V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) catalyst. The addition of Sb and Nb also enhance the resistance of the V(2)O(5)/TiO(2) catalyst to K(2)O poisoning. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, TEM, and XPS. The results showed that the active components of V, Sb, and Nb were well interacting with each other. The coexistence of Sb and Nb will enhance the redox ability and surface acidity and thus promote the SCR performance.  相似文献
