The present investigation evaluates the effect of milling the hydriding combustion synthesized (HCSed) MgNiC composite with NbF5 catalyst. X-ray analysis revealed that h-Mg-(1 0 1) peak positions of the ball-milled samples shifted by an amount that varied with the milling time. Morphologically, among the SPEX ball-milled samples the samples with the NbF5 catalyst showed slightly delayed refinement/agglomeration with milling time which was attributed to lubricating-behavior of NbF5 during milling. The final products from both (planetary and SPEX) ball mills showed insignificant agglomeration. A general trend of decreasing surface area with increasing milling time was observed. The HCSed sample manually mixed with catalyst showed the largest surface area of 23.78 m2/g. The presence of the catalyst and different interfaces, such as Mg–Nb, Mg–Ni and Mg–CNTs, in the samples played a crucial role in decreasing the thermal constraints for dehydrogenation. Analysis of hydrogenation kinetics revealed that the catalyst added samples requires activation and can be easily activated. By relating the hydrogenation kinetic data with the JMAK model, the value of the reaction order, n, was found to be close to 1 for all the samples, suggesting a possible diffusional phase transition. The lowest activation energy observed in synthesized sample for hydrogenation was 64.9 kJ/mol.

Superiority of the hydriding combustion (HC) technique over conventional metallurgical approach to the synthesis of cost-effective Mg based hydrides, which show promise as hydrogen storage materials, is well known. In the present research, we report further improvements in HC prepared Mg-based materials, achieved by optimizing the preparative parameters of HC and by catalytic addition. Mg90-Ni60-C40 composites prepared using optimized processing parameters were ball-milled with NbF5 (10 h) and characterized for their micro-structural and hydriding properties. The ball-milled/catalyzed powder showed decreased crystallinity with CNTs on its surfaces. Surface area of the ball-milled powder decreased to almost half of the as-HC powder, while TG analysis revealed a four-fold decrease in the desorption temperature of the milled powder compared to that of the as-HC prepared powder. Activated samples achieved the maximum absorption/desorption limits (5.3 wt.%) at as low as 100°C, underlining the possibility of the use of these materials in portable hydrogen storage devices.

This study employed a fast, simple and cost-effective hydriding combustion synthesis (HCS) to prepare nano/submicron Mg based alloys, which are the most promising solid state hydrogen storage materials owing to their high storage capacity (7.6 wt.%) and highest volumetric density. The microstructural and absorption/desorption kinetic properties of the prepared MgH2 samples were characterized and compared with commercially available MgH2 powders. The detailed BET analysis of the HCS prepared samples showed a higher surface area than that of commercial MgH2, which resulted in better absorption/desorption kinetics. The HCS-prepared MgH2 powder absorbed 6.2 wt.% H2 with a rate of 0.31 wt.%/min, whereas it desorbed at a rate of 0.98 wt.%/min. These results highlight the superiority of the HCS method to prepare MgH2 powders over conventional ingot-metallurgy.
