The Catalytic Effect of Vanadium on Sorption Properties of MgH-Based Nanocomposites Obtained Using Low Milling Time.

The effects of catalysis using vanadium as an additive (2 and 5 wt.%) in a high-energy ball mill on composite desorption properties were examined. The influence of microstructure on the dehydration temperature and hydrogen desorption kinetics was monitored.

Influence of Defects on the Stability and Hydrogen-Sorption Behavior of Mg-Based Hydrides.

This review deals with the destabilization methods for improvement of storage properties of metal hydrides. Both theoretical and experimental approaches were used to point out the influence of various types of defects on structure and stability of hydrides. As a case study, Mg, and Ni based hydrides has been investigated.
