TL;DR: In this article, the effects of microstructural refinement and various nano-catalytic additives on the hydrogen storage properties of metal and complex hydrides obtained in the last few years in the allied laboratories at the University of Waterloo (Canada) and Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland) are critically reviewed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive study of the decomposition behavior of received and mechanically milled LiAlH 4 has been carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and volumetric hydrogen desorption in a Sieverts-type apparatus.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of [3LiBH 4 ǫ+MnCl 2 ] powders was processed by high energy ball milling in ultra-high purity hydrogen gas for 0.5 and 1.5h. The reaction occurring during milling of the mixture seems to have all characteristics of the metathesis-type reactions occurring between borohydrides (LiH4 and NaBH4 ) and metal chlorides (MCl n ) induced in a solid state by a mechano-chemical activation synthesis (MCAS).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nanometric Ni (n-Ni) additive having a specific surface area (SSA) of 9.5 and 14.5m2/g on the dehydrogenation and rehydrogenation behavior of mechanically milled LiAlH4 has been carried out using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and volumetric hydrogen desorption in a Sieverts-type apparatus under 0.1-MPa H2 pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, the melting of LiAlH 4 is completely eliminated by the addition of 5-wt% n-Ni incorporated by high energy ball milling, and the desorption reaction is completely nonvolatile.
