Hydrogen sorbing magnesium alloys and composites

Abstract

The authorsr works studying the hydrogen sorption properties of the magnesium-based materials are reviewed. The objects of the studies were highly dispersed powders of Mg—La—Ni and Mg—Mm—Ni alloys (Mm is misch metal) of the ternary eutectic, composites of magnesium alloys with extended carbon nanostructures, and composites of magnesium hydride with lanthanide oxides. The positive effect of lanthanide oxide additives on the process of hydro-gen desorption from magnesium hydride and the role of carbon nanofibers in these processes carried out at room temperatures are discussed.
