Abstract

Solid hydrogen storage in a significant amount at ambient pressure and temperature in a volume and weight acceptable for embedded applications consists of developing porous nanomaterials or nanocomposites where the processes of adsorption and absorption can be combined. Our work is based in particular on the electrochemical preparation process of magnesium-based nanocomposites on a metallic cathode.

For this, a certain number of parameters were studied: the nature of the electrolyte, the concentrations used, the nature of the cathode, the current density, and the electrolysis time. For the characterization of the obtained powders, successive tests were performed such as the X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
