TiCl3 was chosen as an additive to increase hydriding and dehydriding rates of Mg. In our previous works, we found that the optimum percentage of additives that improved the hydriding and dehydriding features of Mg was approximately ten. Specimens consisting of 90 wt% Mg and 10 wt% TiCl3 (named Mg–10TiCl3) were prepared by high-energy ball milling in hydrogen. The specimens’ hydriding and dehydriding properties were then studied. Mg–10TiCl3 had an effective hydrogenstorage capacity (the quantity of hydrogen absorbed in 60 min) of approximately 7.2 wt% at 593 K under 12 bar H2 at the second cycle. After high-energy ball milling in hydrogen, Mg–10TiCl3 contained Mg, β-MgH2, and small amounts of γ-MgH2 and TiH1.924. TiH1.924 remained undercomposed even after dehydriding at 623 K in a vacuum for 2 h. The hydriding and dehydriding properties of Mg–10TiCl3 were compared with those of other specimens such as Mg–10Fe2O3, Mg–10NbF5, and Mg–5Fe2O3–5Ni, for which the hydrogen-storage properties were previously reported.

ABSTRACTOur research examines the efficacy of tin additions to LaNi5 in improving the hydrogen storage capacity of the material during charging/discharging. Alloys were prepared using high energy ball milling (mechanical alloying), a technique superior to arc casting for alloying elements with a wide disparity in melting points. Characterization by x-ray diffraction and Rietveld analysis shows that tin preferentially occupies the Ni(3g) sites in the LaNi5 structure, and the unit cell volume increases linearly with tin content to the maximum tin solubility of 7.33 atomic percent (LaNi4.56Sn0.44). We found that powders prepared by mechanical alloying and not exposed to air require no activation to induce hydrogen absorption. The hydrogen storage capacity in the gas and electrochemical phase was measured as a function of tin content. We found that with increasing tin, the plateau pressure decreases logarithmically, whereas the hydrogen storage capacity decreases linearly.

Conductive polymers (CPs) have potential application to commercial energy storage because of their high electrochemical activity and low cost. However, an obstacle in developing CP-based supercapacitors is the degradation in their capacitance during the charge-discharge process that leads to poor rate performance. This study fabricates layers of a high-performance self-assembled polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PPY/RGO) composite material on a carbon cloth through electrochemical deposition. The layered graphene improved the electrochemical properties of PPY. Carbon fiber rods were coated with the PPY/RGO composite layer, the thickness of which depends on the deposition time. Adequate capacitive behaviors were achieved by using 16 layers of polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide, with a specific capacitance of 490 F g−1 (0.6 A g−1) and good rate performance. The results here provide a novel means of preparing graphene-based nanocomposites films for a variety of functions. A symmetric device was subsequently assembled by using electrodes featuring 16 layers of the polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide composite. It yielded a specific capacitance of 205 F g−1 and a high energy density of 16.4 Wh kg−1. It also exhibited good cycle stability, with a capacitance retention rate of 85% for 5,000 cycles.
