Catalytic Effect of Ti5Si3 on Dehydrogenation of NaAlH4

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fine Ti5Si3 powder has been synthesized from a mixture of elemental Ti and Si powders using a mechanochemical method. It shows a good catalytic effect on NaAlH4 by reducing the dehydrogenation temperature and improving the dehydrogenation kinetics. Although the catalytic effect of Ti5Si3 is not better than that of TiCl3, the Ti5Si3 catalyst has an advantage over TiCl3 in terms of hydrogen capacity by releasing more hydrogen than TiCl3 during dehydrogenation. NaAlH4 catalyzed with Ti5Si3 shows reversible hydrogen storage by being hydrogenated at moderate conditions, although the hydrogenation kinetics is rather slow.
