AB The present work concerns the catalytic effect of VNbO5, a ternary oxide prepared via a solid-stateroute, on the sorption performance of MgH2. Three doped systems, namely 5, 10 and 15 wt% VNbO5–MgH2 have been prepared by ball milling and thoroughly characterized. Hydrogen sorption, evaluated bytemperature programmed desorption experiments, revealed a significant reduction of the desorptiontemperature from 330 1C for the un-doped sample (prepared and tested for comparison) to 235 1C forthe VNbO5-doped sample. Furthermore, more than 5 wt% of hydrogen can be absorbed in 5 minutes at160 1C under 20 bar of hydrogen, which is remarkable compared to the 0.7 wt% achieved for theun-doped system. The sample doped with 15 wt% of additive, showed good reversibility: over 5 wt% ofhydrogen with negligible degradation even after 70 consecutive cycles at 275 1C and 50 cycles at300 1C. The kinetics analysis carried out by Kissinger’s method exhibited a considerable reduction of theactivation energy for the desorption process. Finally, pressure-composition-isotherm experimentsconducted at three different temperatures allowed estimating the thermodynamic stability of the systemand shed light on the additive role of VNbO5.
