Optimizing Ti–Zr–Cr–Mn–Ni–V alloys for hybrid hydrogen storage tank of fuel cell bicycle
Abstract
AB2-type Ti-based alloys with Laves phase have advantages over other kinds of hydrogen storage intermetallics in terms of hydrogen sorption kinetics, capacity, and reversibility. In this work, Ti–Zr–Cr-based alloys with progressive Mn, Ni, and V substitutions are developed for reversible hydrogen storage under ambient conditions (1–40 atm, 273–333 K). The optimized alloy (Ti0.8Zr0.2)1.1Mn1.2Cr0.55Ni0.2V0.05 delivers a hydrogen storage capacity of 1.82 wt%, the hydrogenation pressure of 10.88 atm, and hydrogen dissociation pressure of 4.31 atm at 298 K. In addition, fast hydrogen sorption kinetics and low hydriding-dehydriding plateau slope render this alloy suitable for use in hybrid hydrogen tank of fuel cell bicycles.
