Magnesium hydride: from the laboratory to the tank
Résumé
Magnesium metal is under extensive study for its high hydrogen absorption capacity. The mainresults obtained by the authors, going from the effects of ‘reactive mechanical grinding’ to the addi-tion of nano oxides or to the deposition of nanoparticles are reported and discussed. The absorptionproperties are compared with the results of other research groups. An improvement of kinetics hasbeen achieved and the mechanisms of the hydrogenation reaction is almost fully understood, but the effects of catalysts are still subject to hypotheses. Recent developments of MgH2 tanks are also presented
