Magnesium Based Model Systems for Hydrogen Storage
Babak Shalchi Amirkhiz, PhD student in Materials Engineering
Supervisor - Dr. David Mitlin
In a search to find a hydrogen storage material as an alternative to petroleum fuels, catalytic effect of nickel-zirconium on sputtered thin films of magnesium based composites with different compositions is studied fundamentally. More practically, catalytic effect of single walled carbon nanotubes on ball milled magnesium hydride is demonstrated. DSC/TGA analyses along with different characterization methods are used to explain adsorption, desorption concepts.
