Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The equiatomic intermetallic compound TiFe has been prepared by elemental mechanochemical synthesis in a planetary ball mill from Fe and Ti powders. The structural and phase transformations during synthesis were followed using X-ray diffraction. The reaction of the synthesized compound with hydrogen was studied volumetrically. The results demonstrate that the hydrogen capacity of the mechanochemical TiFe is 1.2 wt % at 2.5 MPa. Its absorption isotherm has an extended plateau in the range 1.6–1.7 MPa at room temperature.
