Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the point of view of hydrogen, desorption metal hydrides are extremely complex and interesting. Various metal hydrides differ so much, range in terms of decomposition temperatures and pressures and look like materials from separate classes. Many research articles are devoted to metal hydrides; many of them study the kinetics of dehydriding. However, there is still no complete understanding of the processes that govern kinetics. The reason is for the high number of factors that influence the rate of hydride decomposition and hydrogen desorption. First of all, properties of metal hydrides are diverse. The number of hydride phases, decomposition rates and ranges of absorbed energy are very different. The rates of hydrogen desorption, diffusion and phase transition also can influence the kinetics of dehydriding. The aim of this book is to summarise the authors research of dehydriding kinetics with electronic structures of the materials taken into account, and to determine which elementary processes influence the decomposition rates. The book is not a reference guide on the dehydriding rates of constants. Even more so, in order to keep the subject as simple as possible, the authors restrict the discussion only to binary hydrides when talking about basic dehydriding laws. It is possible, however, that ternary and more complex hydrides have their own unique properties. The authors describe experimental results through physically clear and well studied processes, such as desorption, diffusion, reaction of hydride decomposition, etc. as well as by using conservation laws. On the other hand, describing the entire process in the most general way, taking into account all of the possible reactions and excluding some on the grounds of experimental results, also seems unsound. The authors believe that complexity of models must be comparable to that of experimental data; additional factors should be taken into account only in order to improve poor fitting. The following factors seem the most important: Electronic properties of the hydride (type of bonding); phase morphology; incubation and nucleation; physically reasonable elementary processes mentioned above (diffusion, adsorption and desorption, decomposition and formation of the hydride phase, etc.); and the variety of powder particles. Over recent years, much effort has been made to activate the decomposition of magnesium and aluminium hydrides with the hope of finding appropriate materials for keeping hydrogen in solids aboard a vehicle. Most of the research dealt with mechanochemical activation (ie: ball milling in the presence of catalysts, often in hydrogen). The choice of catalytic materials is not always logical; this was one more reason for systemising the dehydriding kinetics. Naturally, activated materials must follow the general pattern of decomposing metal hydrides. A separate section is devoted to the activation of magnesium and aluminium hydrides; aside from mechanochemical, we also discuss the thermal and photoactivation of these materials.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydride forming materials, i.e., binary, complex hydrides, and their mixtures, have been extensively investigated owing to their potential hydrogen storage properties. They possess high volumetric hydrogen capacity and relative high gravimetric hydrogen capacity. However, one of the main constraints for their practical application is their slow kinetic behavior. For this reason, enormous effort has been devoted to improve the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation rates. Several strategies have been developed for the enhancement of the kinetic behavior of the most relevant hydride forming materials such as MgH2, MBH4 (M¬†=¬†Li, Ca, Mg, Na, K), MNH2 (M¬†=¬†Li and Mg), MBH4¬†+¬†,ÄòMH2 (M¬†=¬†Li, Ca, Mg; ,ÄòM¬†=¬†Li, Mg, Ca), and MNH2¬†+¬†,ÄòMH2 (M¬†=¬†Li, Mg; ,ÄòM¬†=¬†Li). Tuning the kinetic behavior of these hydride forming materials involves different approaches and their combinations. The most relevant approaches are: (1) improving the microstructural refinement via mechanical milling, (2) doping with transition metal and transition metal compounds, (3) forming in situ catalyst, and (4) nanoconfining doped hydride forming materials. Herein, basic concepts about the chemical reaction for the hydride compound formation/decomposition, thermodynamics, kinetics, and applied strategies to enhance the kinetic behavior of hydride compounds and systems are comprehensively described and discussed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal particle beds have recently become a major technique for hydrogen storage. In order to extract hydrogen from such beds, it is crucial to understand the decomposition kinetics of the metal hydride. We are interested in obtaining a a better understanding of the uranium hydride (UH3) decomposition kinetics. We first developed an empirical model by fitting data compiled from different experimental studies in the literature and quantified the uncertainty resulting from the scattered data. We found that the decomposition time range predicted by the obtained kinetics was in a good agreement with published experimental results. Secondly, we developed a physics based mathematical model to simulate the rate of hydrogen diffusion in a hydride particle during the decomposition. We used this model to simulate the decomposition of the particles for temperatures ranging from 300K to 1000K while propagating parametric uncertainty and evaluated the kinetics from the results. We compared the kinetics parameters derived from the empirical and physics based models and found that the uncertainty in the kinetics predicted by the physics based model covers the scattered experimental data. Finally, we used the physics-based kinetics parameters to simulate the effects of boundary resistances and powder morphological changes during decomposition in a continuum level model. We found that the species change within the bed occurring during the decomposition accelerates the hydrogen flow by increasing the bed permeability, while the pressure buildup and the thermal barrier forming at the wall significantly impede the hydrogen extraction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial thermally activated decomposition of several complex metal hydride compounds, to a binary alkali or alkaline hydride and a group IIIb metal hydride, appears to share a first step in their decomposition mechanisms. The application of this initial thermochemical decomposition step to several alanate compounds illustrates the generality of this approach. For LiAlH4, the decomposition data fall on the derived distribution plot calculated for NaAlH4.

Download or read book Erbium Hydride Decomposition Kinetics written by Robert Matthew Ferrizz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) is used to study the decomposition kinetics of erbium hydride thin films. The TDS results presented in this report are analyzed quantitatively using Redhead's method to yield kinetic parameters (E{sub A} {approx} 54.2 kcal/mol), which are then utilized to predict hydrogen outgassing in vacuum for a variety of thermal treatments. Interestingly, it was found that the activation energy for desorption can vary by more than 7 kcal/mol (0.30 eV) for seemingly similar samples. In addition, small amounts of less-stable hydrogen were observed for all erbium dihydride films. A detailed explanation of several approaches for analyzing thermal desorption spectra to obtain kinetic information is included as an appendix.
