TL;DR: In this article, the effect of addition of organic compounds as well as other metals (both transition and non-transition elements) on the sorption characteristics of magnesium is considered in detail, with a view to evaluating the potential of these materials for use as hydrogen storage media in vehicular applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical properties of ZnAlAn-like compounds were studied using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared (IR) and laser Raman (LR) spectra, thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry, evolved gas analysis (EGA), 27Al MAS NMR, and pore-size determination.

TL;DR: In this article, a coprecipitation method was used to obtain cobalt aluminium hydrotalcites with different compositions under low supersaturation conditions, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared absorption (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and surface area measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, Ni-Al hydrotalcite compounds with the structural formula [Ni1−xAlx(OH)2]x+ [(CO3)x/2 ·mH2O]x− were synthesized in the composition range Al/Ni+Al (x)=0.20−0.50 by sequential precipitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ternary combination (Mg-Ni-Cu) for hydrogen storage purposes is proposed, and the kinetic parameters such as activation energies, reaction rates and orders of the reaction for the decomposition of the hydrides formed from Mg, Mg2Ni and Mg 2Cu alloys are evaluated from the DTA data.
