Hydrogen evolution performance of magnesium alanate prepared by a mechanochemical metathesis reaction method
Solvent-free magnesium alanates were prepared by a mechanochemical metathesis reaction method (ball milling method) with a variation of milling time. For the purpose of comparison, magnesium alanate was also prepared by metathesis reaction method in the presence of diethyl ether. The formation of ma...

Zusammenfassung: | Solvent-free magnesium alanates were prepared by a mechanochemical metathesis reaction method (ball milling method) with a variation of milling time. For the purpose of comparison, magnesium alanate was also prepared by metathesis reaction method in the presence of diethyl ether. The formation of magnesium alanate (Mg(AlH

The starting temperature for hydrogen evolution of the solvent-free magnesium alanates decreased with increasing milling time, whereas the amount of hydrogen evolution of the solvent-free magnesium alanates increased with increasing milling time.
