One of the most important technologies for the sustainable development of energy in the future is solid-state hydrogen storage. This study employed etching methods to fabricate two-dimensional layered catalyst Mo 2 Ti 2 C 3 MXene, which was compared with unetched MAX phases Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 and Ti 3 C 2 , as well as Mo 2 C. Through mechanical ball milling, these materials were mixed with MgH 2 to prepare composite materials, including MgH 2 + Ti 2 C 3 , MgH 2 + Mo 2 C, MgH 2 + Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 , and MgH 2 + Mo 2 Ti 2 C 3 . According to the study, Mo 2 Ti 2 C 3 demonstrates the synergistic catalytic actions of Ti and Mo in contrast to Ti 2 C 3 and Mo 2 C. The composite material MgH 2 + Mo 2 Ti 2 C 3 lowers the initial dehydrogenation temperature of MgH 2 to 180 °C, which is 165 °C lower than pure MgH 2 . After 30 min at 250 °C, the dehydrogenation amount is approximately 5.85 wt%. Hydrogen absorption begins at 40 °C and reaches approximately 5.75 wt% at 150 °C. Additionally, it maintains a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of up to 96 % even after 20th cycles at 300 °C. This is because Mo 2 Ti 2 C 3 has one less layer of Al than Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 , which results in a wider interlayer spacing, more active sites for MgH 2 , and facilitates hydrogen molecule dissociation and recombination.

Owing to the orbital hybridization between the transition metal and the B element and the electron-trapping effect of the B element, transition metal borides are considered very promising materials for energy catalysis. In this work, an amorphous scaly high-entropy boride (HEB) with electron traps was designed and fabricated via a facile reduction method to improve the hydrogen storage properties of magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ). For dehydrogenation, the onset temperature of MgH 2 + 10wt% HEB was dropped to 187.4°C; besides, the composite exhibited superior isothermal kinetics and the activation energy of the composite was reduced from (212.78 ± 3.93) to (65.04 ± 2.81) kJ/mol. In addition, MgH 2 + 10wt% HEB could absorb hydrogen at 21.5°C, and 5.02wt% H 2 was charged in 50 min at 75°C. For reversible hydrogen storage capacity tests, the composite maintained a retention rate of 97% with 6.47wt% hydrogen capacity after 30 cycles. Combining microstructure evidence with hydrogen storage performance, the catalytic mechanism was proposed. During ball milling, scaly high-entropy borides riveted a large number of heterogeneous active sites on the surface of MgH 2 . Driven by the cocktail effect as well as the orbital hybridization of metal borides, numerous active sites steadily enhanced the hydrogen storage reactions in MgH 2 .

Magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) is a promising hydrogen storage material with high weight and volume hydrogen capacity. However, higher operating temperature and reversible hydrogen capacity decay inhibit its wide application. To address these issues, Mg-Mg 2 Ni/C was obtained by ball milling magnesium and nickel-Metal Organic Framework (Ni-MOF), and following calcinations . Initial dehydrogenation temperature of the composite is 530 K, 70 K lower than that of MgH 2 , and the apparent activation energy of the composite is 77.6 ± 2.1 kJ/mol, which is only 50% of MgH 2 . At 423 K, the hydrogen capacity of the composite is about 6 wt% within 3600 s, and keeps unchanged after ten cycles. The carbon material introduced by Ni-MOF inhibits the agglomeration of Mg, and Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 acts as a “hydrogen pump” in de/hydrogenation process. The carbon coating and “hydrogen pump” lead to the improvement of the ab/desorption kinetics and cycling stability. This attempt paves a potential way to achieve high performance Mg-based composite hydrogen storage materials.

Catalytic doping plays an important role in enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of MgH2, while finding an efficient and reversible catalyst remains to be a great challenge in enhancing the de/rehydrogenation properties of MgH2. Herein, a bidirectional nano-TiH1.971catalyst was prepared by a wet chemical ball milling method and its effect on hydrogen storage properties of MgH2was studied. The results showed that all the TiH1.971nanoparticles were effective in improving the de/rehydrogenation kinetics of MgH2. The MgH2composites doped with TiH1.971could desorb 6.5 wt % H2in 8 min at 300 °C, while the pure MgH2only released 0.3 wt % H2in 8 min and 1.5 wt % H2even in 50 min. It was found that the smaller the size of the TiH1.971particles, the better was the catalytic effect in promoting the performance of MgH2. Besides, the catalyst concentration also played an important role and the 5 wt %-c-TiH1.971modified system was found to have the best hydrogen storage performance. Interestingly, a significant hydrogen absorption amount of 4.60 wt % H2was evidenced for the 5 wt %-c-TiH1.971doped MgH2within 10 min at 125 °C, while MgH2absorbed only 4.11 wt% hydrogen within the same time at 250 °C. The XRD results demonstrated that the TiH1.971remained stable in cycling and could serve as an active site for hydrogen transportation, which contributed to the significant improvement of the hydrogen storage properties of MgH2.Keywords:hydrogen storage;MgH2;TiH1.971;catalytic effect;reversibility

In this work, the complex hydrogen sorption behaviors in a 3NaBH 4 /HoF 3 composite prepared through mechanical milling were carefully investigated, including the reactions occurred during ball milling and de-/rehydrogenation processes. Different from other rear earth fluorides, the HoF 3 can react with NaBH 4 during ball milling, leading to the formations of Na–Ho–F and Na–Ho–BH 4 complex compounds. The first dehydriding of the 3NaBH 4 /HoF 3 composite can be divided into 4 steps, including the ion exchange between H − and F − , the formation of NaHo(BH 4 ) 4 , the decomposition of NaHo(BH 4 ) 4 and reaction of NaBH 4 with Na–Ho–F compounds. The final products, HoB 4 , HoH 3 and NaF, can be rehydrogenated to generate NaBH 4 and NaHoF 4 with an absorption capacity of 2.3 wt% obtained at 400 °C. Based on the Pressure–Composition–Temperature measurements, the de-/rehydrogenation enthalpies of the 3NaBH 4 /HoF 3 composite are determined to be 88.3 kJ mol −1 H 2 and −27.1 kJ mol −1 H 2 , respectively.

The Li–Mg–N–H (Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH) system, as a high-capacity Mg-based metal hydrogen storage material (5.6 wt%), has broad prospects for in vehicle hydrogen storage applications, but it still has high hydrogen ab/desorption barriers. To improve its hydrogen storage performance, a nanohydrogen storage alloy was innovatively combined with Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH, AB5 type nanohydrogen storage alloy LaNi 5 was prepared by co-precipitation method. Nano LaNi 5 and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were co-doped into the Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH system at a ratio of 10 wt% and 2 wt%, significantly enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH. The initial hydrogen ab/desorption temperatures of the co-doped system decreased from 110/130 °C to 45/85 °C. The release of by-product ammonia is significantly inhibited. 4.73 wt% H 2 can be ab/desorption in 150 min at 180/170 °C. Cycle tests show that the co-doped system can still maintain a hydrogen storage capacity of 4.75 wt% after ten hydrogen release cycles. Mechanism and density functional theory study have shown that during the hydrogen release process, partially hydrogenated LaNi 5 weakens the chemical bonding in Mg(NH 2 ) 2 , promoted the dissociation of hydrogen from the Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH system, while playing a dual role of "hydrogen overflow" and "hydrogen pump". SWCNTs act as auxiliary agents, helping to refine particle size and increase thermal conductivity. The synergistic effect of the two optimizes the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 –2LiH. This study provides a new research method for improving the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of Mg-based metal hydrogen storage materials using rare earth element catalysts.

Two-dimensional Mo 2 TiC 2 MXenematerial was synthesized by etching Mo 2 TiAlC 2 and then doped into MgH 2 to tailor its hydrogen storage performance. The initial hydrogen desorption temperature of the Mo 2 TiC 2 -doped MgH 2 was significantly reduced from 330 °C (pristine MgH 2 ) to 187 °C. Isothermal dehydrogenation analysis indicated that the MgH 2 +9 wt.% Mo 2 TiC 2 composite rapidly discharged 6.4 wt.% H 2 at 300 °C within 4 min. For hydrogenation, the dehydrogenated MgH 2 +9 wt.% Mo 2 TiC 2 uptook 6.5 wt.% H 2 at 175 °Cwithin 5 min. By calculation, the activation energy for MgH 2 +9 wt.% Mo 2 TiC 2 was calculated to be (135.6±1.9) kJ/mol for the desorption reaction and (46.1±0.2) kJ/mol for the absorption reaction. After 20 cycles, 1.0 wt.% H 2 was lost for the MgH 2 +9 wt.% Mo 2 TiC 2 composite. Microstructure analysis results showed that the presence of Mo in Mo 2 TiC 2 enhanced the thermal stability of MXene and reduced the amount of active Ti during cycling, leading to poorer catalytic effect of the catalyst compared to Ti 3 C 2 .

Complex metal oxide catalysts greatly accelerate the hydrogen sorption rates in the magnesium hydride system. In this study, the graphene-supported Sc2O3/TiO2 catalyst is synthesized by means of a simple method, and a surprisingly synergetic effect of the Sc2O3-TiO2 cocatalyst on the hydrogen storage performance of MgH2 is observed. The MgH2-Sc2O3/TiO2@Gn composite starts to release hydrogen at 140 °C and reaches the peak dehydrogenation temperature at 239.9 °C. It absorbs 6.55 wt% of H2 in 1 min and desorbs 5.71 wt% of H2 in 10 min at 300 °C, showing excellent hydrogen absorption and desorption performance. Furthermore, with the decrease of the grain size and changes in the structure, the activity of the catalyst is greatly improved. The low-valent titanium and scandium and oxygen vacancies formed in the process of dehydrogenation facilitate hydrogen diffusion and electron transfer, and further improve the kinetic performance of the Mg/MgH2-Sc2O3/TiO2@Gn system. This study aims to provide insights into studying complex metal oxides as catalysts to improve hydrogen storage performance, and shed light on other catalysis-related research.

MgH 2 is a promising high-capacity solid hydrogen storage material. In this work, MnO 2 -doped Ti 3 C 2 (Ti 3 C 2 @MnO 2 ) was synthesized and used as a catalyst to improve the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . We found that the dehydrogenated 10 wt% Ti 3 C 2 @MnO 2 -doped MgH 2 sample exhibited good hydrogen adsorption ability even at room temperature (30 °C), and could absorb 5.13 wt% of hydrogen in 400 s at 75 °C. The re‑hydrogenated Ti 3 C 2 @MnO 2 -doped MgH 2 sample started to release hydrogen at 182 °C and required 484 s to completely release hydrogen at 275 °C with a dehydrogenation capacity of 6.4 wt%. The Ti 3 C 2 @MnO 2 composite did not change the thermodynamic properties of MgH 2 . In the MgH 2 + Ti 3 C 2 @MnO 2 sample, Ti 3 C 2 , TiO 2 , MnO 2 , MnO, and Mn combined with MgH 2 to form Ti 3 C 2 /MgH 2 , TiO 2 /MgH 2 , MnO 2 /MgH 2 , MnO/MgH 2 , and Mn/MgH 2 multiphase interfaces, which improved the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . The findings of this work may provide a new strategy for preparing novel and efficient catalysts for hydrogen storage applications.

Transition metal catalysts are particularly effective in improving the reaction kinetics of light metal hydrides for reversible hydrogen storage . Herein, tetragonal ZrO 2 hierarchical nanoparticles (nano-ZrO 2 ) composed of primary particles of ∼4 nm in diameter are successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal process. The unique hierarchical structure features homogeneous distributions of in situ formed multivalent Zr-based species, which allow superior catalytic activity for hydrogen storage in MgH 2 . The MgH 2 +10 wt% nano-ZrO 2 starts releasing H 2 at 163 °C after one activation, which is 107 °C lower than additive-free MgH 2 , and 50 °C lower than that of bulk ZrO 2 -doped MgH 2 . At 230 °C, 5.9 wt% of H is rapidly liberated within 20 min from the nano-ZrO 2 -containing MgH 2 . More importantly, the material shows superior hydrogenation kinetics compared with all reported catalyst-modified MgH 2 . The nano-ZrO 2 -containing Mg took up 4.0 wt% of H in only 12 s at 100 °C under 50 bar H 2 , 400 times faster than the bulk-ZrO 2 -modified sample. Even at 50 °C, approximately 1.8 wt% H was absorbed within 1 min. Our findings provide useful insights into the design and development of high-performance catalysts toward solid-state hydrogen storage materials.

Magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) has received widespread attention because of its high hydrogen capacity and low cost, but the sluggish kinetics limited its practical application. Herein, the two-dimensional Mo 2 C MXene was constructed to motivate the efficient hydrogen storage in MgH 2 for the first time. After doping 10 wt% Mo 2 C MXene, the starting dehydriding temperature was lowered to 225 °C, presenting a 117 °C reduction compared with that of as-received MgH 2 . The 10 wt% Mo 2 C-containing MgH 2 sample could rapidly release 6.7 wt% H 2 in 13 min at 300 °C, and the product after hydrogen release could absorb 6.0 wt% H 2 in 12 min at 200 °C, showing superior hydriding and dehydriding kinetics. Moreover, the activation energy ( E a ) of MgH 2 –10 wt% Mo 2 C (107.58 ± 1.57 kJ/mol) was obviously lower than that of pure MgH 2 (130.45 ± 1.97 kJ/mol), and the reduced activation energy explained the reduced dehydrogenation temperature and enhanced kinetics. Microstructure characterization revealed that Mo-species (Mo 0 and Mo 2+ ) formed during ball milling served as active species accelerated the hydriding/dehydriding reactions, and the uniformly distributed active species and the interaction between Mo and O jointly promoted the hydrogen storage properties of MgH 2 .

Although Mg alloy-based hydrides have been considered as promising solid-state materials due to their high capacity and low cost, the high dehydrogenation temperature of ∼ 300℃ severely limited their practical application. Herein, a series of Mg-based quaternary alloys of Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 M 5 (M = Al, Zn, Co, La) hydrides were prepared by a combination of meltspinning and ball milling process, demonstrating an efficient approach to promoting the hydrogen storage properties. Among them, the Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 hydride (H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 ) as the most excellent one starts to release hydrogen from 175℃, 125℃ lower than that of MgH 2 . Especially, the peak hydrogen release temperature of H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 was remarkedly reduced from 347℃ to 253℃, compared with MgH 2 . Additionally, the H-Mg 85 Ni 5 Cu 5 La 5 presented an impressive initial hydrogen capacity of 4.2 wt% with a high-capacity retention of 92.6 % over 10 dehydrogenation cycles. In/Ex-situ XRD analyses proved that the synergistic effects of in-situ formed metallic Ni and LaH 2 catalytic phases during the milling and ab/desorption processes can simultaneously enhance the ab/desorption kinetics of Mg/MgH 2 . That is, the LaH 2 can act as a hydrogen pump to promote the dehydrogenation of hydrides, while the Ni is beneficial to accelerate the dissociation of metal-hydrogen atoms and the formation of hydrogen molecules on the surface of Mg alloy. These findings highlight the potential of multicomponent Mg-based alloys for practical use in solid-state hydrogen storage systems through in-situ formed catalytic phases.
