Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were mechanically milled with LiBH4/MgH2 mixture, and examined with respect to its effect on the reversible dehydrogenation properties of the Li–Mg–B–H system. Experimental results show that the addition of SWNTs results in an enhanced dehydriding rate and improved cyclic stability of the LiBH4/MgH2 composite. For example, the LiBH4/MgH2 composite with 10 wt% purified SWNTs additive can release nearly 10 wt% hydrogen within 20 min at 450 °C, with an average dehydriding rate over 2 times faster than that of the neat LiBH4/MgH2 sample. Based on the results of phase analysis and a series of designed experiments, the mechanism underlying the observed property improvement was discussed.
