Although, pristine Mg has less hydrogen storage but alloying with certain metal helps to increase the hydrogen storage capacity of magnesium [1], [2], [3].As Mg hydride have high thermodynamic stability, its …



In the case of commercial MgH 2 the 3 wt.% of magnesium agrees well with the manufacturer claim of 98% pure MgH 2.Within experimental uncertainties this value is the same for all samples. Table 1 also shows that the metastable phase γ-MgH 2 is formed by cold rolling and ball milling. It is already well known that γ-MgH 2 could be …
