Definitions
- This invention relates to novel hydride materials, a method of producing such materials and to a method of storing hydrogen using such, materials.
- Hydrogen is widely regarded as the most promising alternative to carbon-based fuels: it can be produced from a variety of renewable resources through electrolysis of water (available xa virtually limitless amounts), and, when coupled with fuel cells, offers near-zero emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
- electrolysis of water available xa virtually limitless amounts
- fuel cells offers near-zero emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
- hydrogen as a major energy carrier will require solutions to many scientific and technological challenges, including hydrogen storage methods. This has lead to a rapid increase in research spending in this field.
- solid-state storage employs metal hydrides (e.g. LaNi 5 ) that have excellent volumetric storage densities — higher than for both compressed gas cylinders and liquid hydrogen — but which have poor gravimetric storage densities ( ⁇ ca 2.5 weight%; 1.37 wt % for LaNi 5 ), thereby precluding their use for mobile storage applications (e.g. in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles), for which a capacity of 5-6 wt % is regarded as a minimum requirement.
- metal hydrides e.g. LaNi 5
- LiNi 5 metal hydrides
- Magnesium reacts reversibly with hydrogen at around 300 0 C to produce magnesium hydride, MgH 2 .
- Magnesium is a prime candidate for a solid state storage medium, with a theoretical reversible hydrogen uptake value of 7.6 wt %, a value that exceeds the US Department of Energy target of 6 wt % for use as a complete onboard storage system.
- the absorption and desorption kinetics need to be accelerated, before Mg or Mg-based materials can be used to form the basis of a practical hydrogen storage system.
- HVBM High Velocity Ball Milling
- An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of making a hydrogen storage material; in particular a method that avoids high velocity ball milling.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a method of storing hydrogen.
- a yet further object is to provide a new hydride material suitable for cyclic hydrogen storage.
- the present invention derives from the discovery of a means of producing, through simple heat treatment, activated hydride materials that have similar hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics to those prepared by grinding Mg-based powder using HVBM.
- a method of making a hydrogen storage material comprising the steps of: (a) providing a metal M or first hydride of formula MH a , where metal M is selected from the group Li, Mg, Zn or Al and where a is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3; (b) providing a second hydride of formula M 1 XbH 0 comprising metal M' selected from the group Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Al; element X selected from the group B, N, Al wherein element X is different from the metal M', where b is less than or equal to 3, c is greater than 0 but less than or equal to 12, and where M and M 1 are different metals if b is 0; (c) mixing said metal M or first hydride with said second hydride and heating in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere.
- Step (c) may comprise heating to a temperature in the range 50 to 600 °C, preferably to a temperature in the range 150 to 450 °C, more preferably to a temperature in the range 250 to 400 0 C, and most preferably to a temperature in the range 270 to 330 °C.
- Step (c) may comprise heating for a period of between 0.1 and 72 hours; preferably for a period between 1 and 24 hours, and more preferably between 6 and 12 hours.
- the method comprises a further step (d) wherein the material produced by step (c) is cyclically dehydrogenating and hydrogenating several times in order to maximise the degree of adsorption obtained during the cyclic step.
- the metal M' is Li.
- the second hydride is a borohydride.
- step (c) is conducted in an atmosphere comprising hydrogen and/or nitrogen.
- the atomic ratio M'/M is greater than 0 and less than 0.5; more preferably the atomic ratio M'/M is greater than 0 and less than 0.25.
- the composition of the present invention is particularly well suited for cyclic storage of hydrogen, in use the composition cycling between a hydrogenated state and a dehydrogenated state.
- the dehydrogenated state is produced when hydrogen is liberated from the hydrogen storage composition in its hydrogenated form.
- dehydrogenated does not necessarily imply complete removal of hydrogen, but rather may correspond to partial removal.
- hydrogenation refers to addition of hydrogen to the dehydrogenated composition, by the formation of hydrides and the like.
- a hydrogen storage material having a hydrogenated state from which hydrogen may be desorbed and a dehydrogenated state wherein hydrogen may be absorbed to produce said hydrogenated state, said hydrogenated state and dehydrogenated state being cyclically reversible; wherein said hydrogenated state comprises: a non-mechanically alloyed composition with: (a) a first metal M selected from the group Li, Mg, Zn or Al; (b) a second metal M' selected from the group Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca 5 Zn or Al; element X selected from the group B, N, Al; wherein the formula of the composition is M M' e X f Hg ; where the first metal and the second metal are different metals, the element X and metal M' are different elements; e is less than 1 ; e is greater than 0 if f is 0; f is less than 3; and g is greater than 0 but less than 12.
- the element M' is Li.
- e is greater than 0 and up to 0.25.
- f is greater than 0 and up to 3 and more preferably f is greater than 0 and up to 0.75.
- the hydrogen storage material of the invention may be prepared by mixing substantially dehydrogenated first and second hydrides and heating in a vacuum. Consequently, metal M may normally be used in place of first hydride MH a in step (a) of the method. It follows that the values of a, b, c in Claim 1 and e, f and g in Claim 10 can be non-integers.
- a method of storing hydrogen using a hydrogen storage material according to the invention wherein hydrogen is absorbed when the hydrogen storage material is in a fully or partly dehydrogenated state and wherein hydrogen is subsequently desorbed by lowering the pressure and/or raising the temperature of the hydrogen storage material.
- the hydrogen storage material is cyclically hydrogenated and dehydrogenated.

- MgH 2 (0.3 g) and LiBH 4 (0.025g) were weighed out in an argon atmosphere glove box (O 2 content: 6 pip) and transferred to a quartz tube 10.
- a Young's tap 12 was attached to the quartz tube via a Cajon flexible fitting 14 and the whole assembly was removed from the glove box.
- the assembly was attached to a vacuum line, consisting of a rotary pump 16 and turbo pump 18, and the Young's tap was opened allowing the assembly to be evacuated.
- the assembly was evacuated to a pressure of 10 "9 bar.
- the Young's tap was then closed and the quartz tube was sealed via a gas torch.
- the sealed tube, containing the MgH 2 and LiBH 4 was then placed in a furnace and heated to 300 °C for 12 hours, after which the ensemble was taken into the glove box. While this Example used a very low pressure of 10 ⁇ 9 bar to prepare the material under vacuum, this merely corresponds to the performance of available laboratory machines and much lower degrees of vacuum may be used.
- MgH 2 (0.3g) and LiBH 4 (0.025g) were weighed out in an argon atmosphere glove box (O 2 content: 6 ppmv) and transferred to a quartz tube 10.
- a Young's tap modified to enable gas flow 12 was attached to the quartz tube via a Cajon fitting 14 and the whole assembly was removed from the glove box.
- the assembly was attached to a vacuum line, consisting of a rotary pump 16 and turbo pump 18, and a gas cylinder was attached at inlet 20 of the gas flow enabled Young's tap.
- the assembly was first evacuated to a pressure of 10 "9 bar, after which the Young's tap was closed and the gas taps opened, allowing the argon to flow through the assembly at a pressure of 1 bar.
- the tube containing the MgH 2 and LiBH 4 was then placed in a furnace and heated to 300 °C for 12 hrs; after which the assembly was taken into the glove box.
- the gas flow enabled Young's tap was then swapped with a 'normal' Young's tap and the whole assembly was removed from the glove box.
- the assembly was reattached to the vacuum line and evacuated to a pressure of 10 "9 bar before being sealed via a gas torch. This final step is required in order to protect it from degradation.
- TMs example followed the method of Example 2, except that after the assembly was first evacuated to a pressure of 10 '9 bar, the Young's tap was closed and the gas taps opened, Nitrogen was then allowed to flow through the assembly at a pressure of 1 bar.
- Example 2 followed the method of Example 1 except that 0.026g OfMgB 2 was used instead of 0.026g Of LiBH 4 .
- Example 4 followed the method of Example 4 except that 0.026g OfLiNH 2 was used instead of 0.025g OfLiBH 4 , a gas mixture of 90% nitrogen and 10% hydrogen was used instead of nitrogen, and the material was heated to 375 °C instead of 300 0 C.
- Figure 7 shows 11 B MAS NMR spectra of an increased surface area material
- Figure 3 shows morphological SEM (Secondary) images Of MgH 2 and MgH 2 / LiBH 4 both before cycling of the material on an Intelligent Gravimetric Analyser (IGA) and after 6 cycles of hydrogen desorption / absorption.
- IGA Intelligent Gravimetric Analyser
- each grain was a solid particulate OfMgH 2 with a relatively smooth surface. After treatment with LiBH 4 followed by cycling, the particles are all characterised by a porous.
- a powder X — Ray diffraction (XRD) trace of an increased surface area material (Synthesised in a static vacuum, cycled six times on the IGA), together with corresponding traces for MgH 2 and ball milled MgH 2 is shown in Figure 4.
- XRD X — Ray diffraction
- the increased surface area does not result in any significant broadening of the powder XRD pattern for MgH 2 vacuum treated witfi LiBH 4 , but each of the diffraction lines exhibited a shoulder at low angle, indicating the presence of at least two isostructural compounds.
- a powder XRD trace of an increased surface area material (synthesised in an argon atmosphere, cycled six times on the IGA), together with corresponding traces for MgH 2 and ball milled MgH 2 is shown in Figure 5.
- the extra peaks present in the pattern of the increased surface area material are due to the presence of Mg metal.
- the increased surface area structure formed by the reaction Of LiBH 4 with MgH 2 does not result in significant broadening of the powder XRD pattern, and in this case no shoulder on the diffraction lines was observed.
- a powder XRD trace of the increased surface area material (Synthesised in a H 2 / N 2 , 10 % / 90 % atmosphere, cycled 6 times on the IGA), together with corresponding traces for MgH2 and ball milled MgH 2 is shown in Figure 6.
- the increased surface area structure formed by the reaction of LiBH 4 with MgH 2 does not result in any significant broadening of the powder XRD pattern. Again no shoulder on the diffraction lines was observed.
- Figure 8 shows that the absorption of hydrogen in MgH 2 is very slow; at 300 °C and 10 bar of H 2 it takes two hours to reach maximum absorption. In contrast, the absorption Of MgH 2 / LiBH 4 (heated in a static vacuum) at the same temperature and pressure occurs within 20 minutes to a value of 6 wt %. This is very similar to the hydrogen uptake data of ball milled MgH 2 .
- Figure 9 shows that MgH 2 / LiBH 4 (heated in an argon atmosphere) at the same temperature and pressure reaches maximum absorption of hydrogen within 40 minutes. However it has higher uptake value, 6.6 wt %.
- Figure 10 shows that MgH 2 / LiBH 4 (heated in a H 2 / N 2 atmosphere) at the same temperature and pressure reaches maximum hydrogen absorption within 20 minutes to a value of 6 wt %.
- Figure 11 shows that MgH 2 / LiNH 2 (heated in a H 2 / N 2 atmosphere) absorbs hydrogen at 300 °C at the very low pressure of 10 mbar.
- Figure 12 shows that MgH 2 / LiNH 2 (heated in a H 2 /N 2 atmosphere) absorbs hydrogen at 10 mbar, at temperatures as low as 100 °C.
- the method of the invention is expected to result in considerable cost savings over the alternative of using a HVBM-based method.
- the option of preparing the active material using metal powder promises to further reduce preparation costs.
- metal powder for example; magnesium powder
- the process may also be applied to Mg-Ni based alloys suitable for electrochemical hydrogen storage in rechargeable batteries.
