  • formation of Aluminium Hydride alh3 via the decomposition of organoAluminium and hydrogen storage properties
    International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Lei Wang, Aditya Rawal, Zakaria Quadir, Kondofrancois Agueyzinsou
    Abstract:

    Abstract Aluminium Hydride (AlH3) is a promising hydrogen storage material due to its competitive hydrogen storage density and moderate decomposition temperature. However, there is no convenient way to prepare/regenerate AlH3 from (spent) Al by direct hydrogenation. Herein, we report on a novel approach to generate AlH3 from the decomposition of triethylAluminium (Et3Al) under mild hydrogen pressures (10 MPa) with the use of surfactants. With tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB), the synthesis led to the formation of nanosized AlH3 with the known α phase, and these nanoparticles released hydrogen from 40 °C instead of the 125 °C observed with bulk α-AlH3. However, when tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was used instead of TOAB, larger nanoparticles believed to be related to the formation of β-AlH3 were obtained, and these decomposed through a single exothermic process. Despite the possibility to form α-AlH3 under low conditions of temperature (180 °C) and pressure (10 MPa), TOAB stabilised AlH3 was found to be irreversible when subjected to hydrogen cycling at 150 °C and 7 MPa hydrogen pressure.

  • nanoconfined lithium Aluminium Hydride lialh4 and hydrogen reversibility
    International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Lei Wang, Aditya Rawal, Zakaria Quadir, Kondofrancois Agueyzinsou
    Abstract:

    Abstract Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH4) is a promising hydrogen storage material with a storage capacity of 10.6 mass % H2. However, its practical use is hampered by the lack of direct rehydrogenation routes. In this study, we report on the confinement of LiAlH4 into the nanoporosity of a high surface area graphite resulting in a remarkable improvement of its hydrogen storage properties. Nanoconfined LiAlH4 started hydrogen desorption near 135 °C and after full dehydrogenation at 300 °C limited rehydrogenation was observed at the same temperature and 7 MPa of hydrogen pressure. Rehydrogenation took place through the formation of Li3AlH6 with some limited rehydrogenation back to LiAlH4 indicating the existence of different (de)hydrogenation paths upon nanoconfinement as compared to the known dehydrogenation path of bulk LiAlH4.
