Improvement of the Hydrogen Storage Characteristics of MgH with Al Nano-Catalyst Produced by the Method of Electric Explosion of Wires.

A new composite with a core-shell structure based on magnesium hydride and finely dispersed aluminum powder with an aluminum oxide shell was mechanically synthesized. We used magnesium chips to produce magnesium hydride and aluminum wire after exploitation to produce nano-sized aluminum powder. The beginning of the hydrogen release from the composite occurred at the temperature of 117 °C.

Theoretical and Experimental Research of Hydrogen Solid Solution in Mg and Mg-Al System.

The study of hydrogen storage properties of Mg-based thin films is of interest due to their unique composition, interface, crystallinity, and high potential for use in hydrogen-storage systems. Alloying Mg with Al leads to the destabilization of the magnesium hydride reducing the heat of reaction, increases the nucleation rate, and decreases the dehydriding temperature. The purpose of our study is to reveal the role of the aluminum atom addition in hydrogen adsorption and accumulation in the Mg-H solid solution.

Hydrogen Accumulation and Distribution in Pipeline Steel in Intensified Corrosion Conditions.

Hydrogen accumulation and distribution in pipeline steel under conditions of enhanced corrosion has been studied. The XRD analysis, optical spectrometry and uniaxial tension tests reveal that the corrosion environment affects the parameters of the inner and outer surface of the steel pipeline as well as the steel pipeline bulk. The steel surface becomes saturated with hydrogen released as a reaction product during insignificant methane dissociation.
