Abstract

Magnesium-containing AB3 intermetallic compounds have increased (as compared to АВ5 compounds) hydrogen-sorption capacities and are candidate materials for metal-hydride accumulators and hydrogen compressors and for rechargeable nickel–metal-hydride batteries. We prepared and characterized La3– xMgxCo9 (x = 1.2, 1.5, and 2) intermetallic compounds in order to elucidate the effect from the replacement of lanthanum by magnesium in LaCo3 aimed at enhancing hydrogen-sorption properties. The hydrogen-sorption properties of alloys were studied at temperatures of 303–343 K and pressures of 0.1–25 atm; two hydride phases were shown to form. The maximal hydrogen capacity was found to be 0.62 ± 0.08 wt % for La1.8Mg1.2Co9, 0.30 ± 0.03 wt % for La1.5Mg1.5Co9, and 0.75 ± 0.09 wt % for LaMg2Co9. The unit cell volume was shown to increase upon hydriding by 13.8% for La1.8Mg1.2Co9 and 16.5% for LaMg2Co9. Hydrogen uptake curves were plotted for intermetallic compounds, and their comparative analysis was carried out.
