Abstract

In the present study, Ti0.9Zr0.1Mn1.2V0.4Cr0.4 compound was synthesized from elemental powders blend via high-energy ball milling for hydrogen storage applications. The effects of milling time and subsequent annealing on the structural evaluation and morphology of the powders were investigated via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry. Results represented that the increase of ball milling time impressively increased the amount of the BCC and Laves phases with hexagonal structure. In addition, although lattice strain augmentation and grain size reduction prompted compound to transit to an amorphous state, annealing helped desired phases to be more stable. Results of electrochemical hydrogen storage tests demonstrated that 10 h of milling resulted in highest discharge capacity. This was attributed to the sufficient C14 Laves and BCC phases and adequate crystalline defects. Increasing milling time up to 20 h, reduced the discharge capacity due to the diminution of unit-cell volume and so growing activation energy acted as a barrier for adsorption and desorption of hydrogen. The most cyclic stability was for annealed sample, which contained stable phases because of the heat treatment process. Overall results proved that operating ball milling with optimized parameters led to effective results for production of hydrogen storage in TiMn2-based alloys.
