Abstract: | Ti–Cr–Nb hydrogen storage alloys with a body centered cubic (BCC) structure have been successfully prepared by melt-spin and Mo-doping. The crystalline structure, solidification microstructural evolution, and hydrogen storage properties of the corresponding alloys were characterized in details. The results showed that the hydrogen storage capacity of Ti–Cr–Nb ingot alloys increased from 2.2 wt% up to around 3.5 wt% under the treatment of melt-spin and Mo-doping. It is ascribed that the single BCC phase of Ti–Cr–Nb alloys was stabilized after melt-spin and Mo-doping, which has a higher theoretical hydrogen storage site than the Laves phase. Furthermore, the melt-spin alloy after Mo doping can further effectively increase the de-/absorption plateau pressure. The hydrogen desorption enthalpy change ΔH of the melt-spin alloy decreased from 48.94 kJ/mol to 43.93 kJ/mol after Mo-doping. The short terms cycling test also manifests that Mo-doping was effective in improving the cycle durability of the Ti–Cr–Nb alloys. And the BCC phase of the Ti–Cr–Nb alloys could form body centered tetragonal (BCT) or face center cubic (FCC) hydride phase after hydrogen absorption and transform to the original BCC phase after desorption process. This study might provide reference for developing reversible metal hydrides with favorable cost and acceptable hydrogen storage characteristics. |
