| Abstract: | The addition of a catalyst and ball milling process was found to be one of the efficient method to reduce the decomposition temperature and improve the desorption kinetics of lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4). In this paper, a transition metal oxide, LaFeO3 was used as a catalyst. Decomposition temperature of the 10 wt% of LaFeO3-doped LiAlH4 system was found to be lowered from 143 °C to 103 °C (first step) and from 175 °C to 153 °C (second step), respectively. In isothermal desorption kinetics, the amount of hydrogen released of the doped sample was improved to 3.9 wt% in 2.5 h at 90 °C. Meanwhile, the undoped sample had released less than 1.0 wt% of hydrogen under the same condition. The activation energy of the LaFeO3-doped LiAlH4 sample was measured to be 73 kJ/mol and 90 kJ/mol for the first two dehydrogenation reactions compared to 107 kJ/mol and 119 kJ/mol for the undoped sample. The improvements of desorption properties were the results from the formation of LiFeO2, Fe and La or La-containing phase during the heating process. |
