Hydriding of Mg2Ni in ammonia

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The chemical interaction between the intermetallic compound Mg2Ni and ammonia in the presence of NH4Cl as an activator is investigated at temperatures from 100 to 450 °C, and the reaction scheme is presented. The results demonstrate that the use of ammonia for hydriding/nitriding the intermetallic compound makes it possible to prepare various magnesium compounds (Mg2NiH4, Mg3N2, and Mg (NH2)2) in a highly dispersed state.
