Abstract: The LamNin alloy was prepared by vacuum melting method, and then it was milled with MgH2 according to different ratios by using high energy ball milling to obtain MgH2-xwt%LamNin (x=5, 10, 15) hydrogen storage composite systems. Combined with experimental characterization and first-principle calculations, the effect and mechanism of LamNin addition on the microstructures and hydrogen storage properties of MgH2 were studied systematically. The results show that LamNin alloy is mainly composed of LaNi5 phase and a small amount of LaNi3 and La2Ni3 phases, and the addition of LamNin alloy shows an obvious catalytic effect on hydrogen absorption and desorption of MgH2. Among these MgH2-xwt%LamNin (x=5, 10, 15) composite systems, the MgH2-10wt%LamNin has the best hydrogen storage performance, It can start hydrogen desorption at 247 ℃, and can release 6.0% hydrogen at 300 ℃ within 500 s, and has a hydrogen absorption capacity of 84% of the theoretical hydrogen storage capacity at 300 ℃ within 120 s. In the process of hydrogen absorption and desorption, Mg2Ni and LaH3 are generated by the in situ reaction of MgH2 with LamNin, Mg2Ni and LaH3 and primitive LaNi5 all catalyze the hydrogen absorption of MgH2, which effectively promotes the dissociation of H2, thus improves the hydrogen absorption kinetics of the system. During hydrogen desorption, LaH3 is the main catalytic phase, and the charge transfer between LaH3 and MgH2 occurs, which effectively weakens the bonding strength of Mg-H and improves the hydrogen desorption kinetics.
