This study demonstrates how zirconia additive transforms to zirconium hydride and substantially lowers the dehydrogenation temperature of magnesium hydride. We pre- pared MgH2þxZrO2 (x 1⁄4 0.125 and 0.5) powder samples reacted for 15 min, 1 h, 5 h, 10 h, 15 h, 20 h and 25 h, and monitored the phase changes at each stage of the reaction. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study provides the first crucial ev...
In continuation with the results explored in our recent previous study (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2021.150062), the current work sheds more light regarding the active in situ catalytic species in ceria additive loaded hydrogen storage system, MgH2. For this study, two samples, MgH2+0.167CeO2 and MgH2+0.5CeO2 were processed through mechanical milling (5 h/200 rpm) and tests were conducted at various stage...
