A new material for hydrogen storage, ScAl0.8Mg0.2

Materials Science 2015-05-13 v2

Abstract

A novel aluminium rich alloy for hydrogen storage has been discovered, ScAl0.8Mg0.2, which has superior properties regarding hydrogen storage capacity, kinetics and stability towards air oxidation in comparison to hydrogen absorption in state-of-the-art intermetallic compounds. Detailed analysis of the hydrogen absorption in ScAl0.8Mg0.2 has been performed using in situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and quantum mechanical calculations. The results from calculations and experiments are in good agreement with each other.
