▎ 摘  要

To improve the hydrogen storage properties of Mg/MgH2, a Ni and TiO2 co-doped reduced graphene oxide [(Ni-TiO2)@rGO] nanocomposite is synthesized by a facile impregnation method and introduced into Mg via ball milling. The results demonstrated that the dispersive distribution of Ni and TiO2 with a particle size of 20-200 nm in the reduced graphene oxide matrix led to superior catalytic effects on the hydrogen storage properties of Mg-(Ni-TiO2)@rGO. The initial hydrogenation/dehydrogenation temperature for Mg-(Ni-TiO2)@rGO decreased to 323/479 K, 75/84 K lower than that of the additive-free sample. The hydrogen desorption capacity of the Mg-(Ni-TiO2)@rGO composite released 1.47 wt.% within 120min at 498 K. When the temperature was increased to 523 K, the hydrogen desorption capacity increased to 4.30 wt.% within 30min. A hydrogenation/dehydrogenation apparent activation energy of 47.0/99.3 kJ . mol(-1) was obtained for the Mg-(Ni-TiO2)@rGO composite. The improvement in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation for the Mg-(Ni-TiO2)@rGO composite was due to the reduction of the apparent activation energy by the catalytic action of (Ni-TiO2)@rGO.
