采用溶液化学还原法制备钯载量分别为10%、20%、30%和40%(质量分数)的多壁碳纳米管载钯(Pd/MWCNTs)催化剂,然后与Mg粉混合成95Mg-mPd/(5-m)MWCNTs(m=0.5、1、1.5和2),采用氢化燃烧合成法(HCS)制备镁基氢化物,最后机械球磨(MM) 10 h.采用X线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)及气体反应控制器研究材料的相组成、微观形貌和吸放氢性能.结果表明:Pd/MWCNTs大幅提高HCS过程中Mg的氢化程度,在HCS过程中形成的MgPd合金明显提高复合材料的储氢性能.样品95Mg-2Pd/3MWCNTs在473 K下、100 s内,饱和吸氢量达到6.66%(质量分数);在573 K下、1 800s内,放氢量高达6.25%(质量分数);其放氢的表观活化能与市售MgH2相比,从153 k]/mol降低到80.8 kJ/mol.
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different amounts of Pd (10%,20%,30% and 40%) were synthesized by a solution reduction method.95Mg-mPd/(5-m) MWCNTs (m =0.5,1,1.5 and 2) were prepared by hydriding combustion synthesis (HCS) and mechanical milling (MM).The phase compositions,surface morphologies and hydriding/dehydriding properties of the samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD),field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),transmission electron microscope (TEM),and gas reaction controller.Results showed that Pd/MWCNTs could significantly increase the hydrogenation degree of magnesium during the HCS process.The MgPd alloy made the dehydrogenation process of MgH2 easier.The 95Mg-2Pd/3MWCNTs showed best hydriding/dehydriding properties,requiring only 100 s to reach its saturated hydrogen absorption capacity of 6.66% at 473 K,and desorbing 6.25% hydrogen within 1 800 s at 573 K.Additionally,the dehydrogenation activation energy of MgH2 in the system decreased from 153 kJ/mol to 80.8 kJ/mol.
