Advanced materials on the basis of nanostructured catalysed magnesium hydride for hydrogen storage
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Magnesium hydride has long been regarded as a promising candidate for lightweight hydrogen storage applications, owing to reasonably high theoretical capacity (7.6 wt. %). It is burdened by slow absorption/desorption ... -
Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks with application-specific properties for hydrogen storage application
(University of Western Cape, 2019)The application of porous materials into industrial hydrogen (H2) storage systems is based on their use in combination with high-pressure cylinders. The processing of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) powders into shaped ... -
Nanostructured light weight hydrogen storage materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)The main objective of this study was to advance kinetic performances of formation and decomposition of magnesium hydride by design strategies which include high energy ball milling in hydrogen (HRBM), in combination with ...
