摘要: The hydrogen storage properties and catalytic mechanism of FeCl2 -doped LiAlH4 were investigated in minute details. LiAlH4 -2 mol% FeCl2 samples start to release hydrogen at 76 ℃, which is 64 ℃ lower than that of as-received LiAlH4. Isothermal desorption measurements show that the 2 mol% FeCl2 -doped sample releases 7.0 wt% of hydrogen within 17 min at 250 ℃. At lower temperatures of 110 ℃ and 80 ℃, the sample can release 4.4 wt% and 3 wt% of hydrogen, respectively. The apparent activation energy of LiAlH4-2 mol% FeCl2 samples for R2 is 105.02 kJ/mol, which is 67 kJ/mol lower than that of pure LiAlH4. The reaction between LiAlH4 and FeCl2 during ball milling was found by analyzing the X-ray diffraction results, and Fe-Al particles formed in-situ from the reaction act as the real catalyst for the dehydrogenation of LiAlH4.
