Abstract
In the present study, we have investigated the effect of vanadium and its compounds (V, V2O5 and VCl3) on desorption characteristics of 1:2 magnesium amide (Mg(NH2)2) and lithium hydride (LiH) mixture. The hydrogen storage characteristics of 1:2 Mg(NH2)2/LiH mixture gets enhanced with admixing of V, V2O5 and VCl3 separately. The VCl3 has been found to be the most effective followed by V and V2O5. The activation energy for dehydrogenation process of 1:2 Mg(NH2)2/LiH mixture with and without catalyst has been evaluated using a method suggested by Ozawa et al. [25]. Based on the experimental results, schematic reaction scheme for decomposition of Mg(NH2)2 in the presence of VCl3 has also been proposed.
