Abstract
The absorption of hydrogen by the magnesium-rich alloys LnMg12 (Ln  La, Ce, mischmetal), La2M17 and Ce5Mg41 was investigated. The alloys decompose during hydriding to give magnesium hydride and the corresponding rare earth hydride. A comparative study of the hydriding and dehydriding processes was carried out at two different temperatures. In addition, alloys with compositions corresponding to the formula CeMg11M (M  V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were prepared and their absorption and desorption rates were compared with those of CeMg12 and La2Mg17. The hydriding rate is not changed significantly by the presence of a 3d element but the dehydriding rate is greatly enhanced by the presence of vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron or nickel. These results are discussed.
