摘要

This study prepared Mg–Ni/AC solid-state hydrogen storage materials with excellent hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics via high-energy ball milling. Through characterization of the material’s microstructure and testing of hydrogen storage performance, the results show that the sample milled for 2 h has the lowest hydrogen desorption activation energy of 82.14 kJ/mol. At 373 K, this sample can absorb 4.41 wt% H2 within 60 min, whereas pure Mg does not absorb hydrogen at this temperature. Hydrogen desorption starts around 503 K, which is 115 K lower than the initial desorption temperature of pure Mg. The enhancement of the material’s hydrogen storage performance is mainly attributed to the combined effects of ball milling and Ni/AC. As the milling time increases, the particle size decreases, while the number of Ni/AC active sites on the sample surface decreases. The particle size significantly impacts hydrogen absorption kinetics, while Ni/AC affects both hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics.
