A candidate hydrogen storing material should have high storage capacity and fast dehydrogenation kinetics. On this basis, magnesium hydride (MgH 2) is an outstanding compound with 7.6 wt % storage capacity, despite its slow dehydriding kinetics and high desorption temperature. Therefore in this study, formation energies of alloyed bulk MgH2, adsorption energies on alloyed magnesium (Mg) and MgH2 surface structures were calculated by total energy pseudopotential methods. Also, the effect of substitutionally placed dopants to the dissociation of hydrogen molecule (H 2) at the surface of Mg was investigated via Molecular Dynamics (MD). The results show that 31 out of 32 selected dopants decreased the formation energy of bulk MgH2, within a range of ∼ 37 kJ/mol-H2 where only Sr did not display any such effect. The most favorable elements in this respect are; P, K, Tl, Si, Sn, Ag and Pb. Moreover, surface adsorption energy values display that all elements are adsorbed substitutionally on the clean (0001) surface of Mg where adsorption on MgH2 (001) surface is possible only for alloying elements other than Zn, Au, In, Ag, Li, Tl, Cd, Na and K. Finally, results of MD simulations point out that the elements giving rise to me dissociation of hydrogen molecule came out to be Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh ve Hf.

A candidate hydrogen storing material should have high storage capacity and fast dehydrogenation kinetics. On this basis, magnesium hydride (MgH2) is an outstanding compound with 7.66 wt % storage capacity, despite its slow dehydriding kinetics and high desorption temperature. Therefore in this study, bulk and surface alloys of Mg with improved hydrogen desorption characteristics were investigated.

Catalytic hydrolysis of hydrazine borane for chemical hydrogen storage: Highly efficient and fast hydrogen generation system at room temperature
Karahan, Senem; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2011-04-01)
There has been rapidly growing interest for materials suitable to store hydrogen in solid state for transportation of hydrogen that requires materials with high volumetric and gravimetric storage capacity. B-N compounds such as ammonia-triborane, ammonia-borane and amine-borane adducts are well suited for this purpose due to their light weight, high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and inclination for bearing protic (N-H) and hydridic (B-H) hydrogens. In addition to them, more recent study [261 has sho...
Electrolytic magnesium production using coaxial electrodes
Demirci, Gökhan; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006)
Main reason for the current losses in electrolytic magnesium production is the reaction between electrode products. Present study was devoted to effective separation of chlorine gas from the electrolysis environment by a new cell design and thus reducing the extent of back reaction between magnesium and chlorine to decrease energy consumption values. The new cell design was tested by changing temperature, cathode surface, current density, anode cathode distance and electrolyte composition. Both the voltages...
Novel conversion of thiols into disulfides, via S-nitrosothiol intermediates using trichloronitromethane
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Igdir, AC; Mahasneh, AS (1999-10-15)
An efficient oxidative coupling of thiols to give disulfides via thionitrite (S-nitrosothiol) intermediate is described using trichloronitromethane as an efficient reagent in organic solvents and water. Cysteine and glutathione are converted into the corresponding disulfides in water in high yields.
