Abstract

Mg-Al alloy was prepared via mechanical alloying under hydrogen atmosphere protection, and then the influence of doping substance such as: boron (B), single-layer graphene (SG) and multi-layer graphene (MG) (in 5%, mass fraction) respectively on the hydrogen storage property of Mg-Al alloy was investigated systematically. The results show that the prepared alloy is mainly composed of Mg₁₇Al₁₂, while the hydrogen storage performance for the Mg-Al alloy is improved obviously by doping graphene SG and MG respectively. The initial desorption temperature for Mg-Al-5 (SG and MG) alloy is 64 K and 82 K lower than that of the plain Mg-Al alloy (575 K), and correspondingly their dehydrogenation peak temperature was 76 K and 74 K lower. Besides, with the incorporation of SG and MG, the apparent activation energy of the Mg-Al alloy decreases from 328.9 kJ/mol to 231.5 kJ/mol and 289.4 kJ/mol respectively.

Key words: metallic materials Mg-Al alloy mechanical alloying carbon materials hydrogen storage property
