Pengaruh Temperatur Aniling Material Mgalti Terhadap Media Penyimpan Hidrogen

Abstract

Hydrogen is an alternative energy source and it has advantages to storage the element in form of solid state compare gas and liquid. The study was conducted to analyse the effect of MgAlTi in aniling temperature used reactive mechanical alloying (RMA) for hydrogen storage. The experimental was carried out to improve the absorption Mg by combination of Mg, Al and Ti materials with 85, 15 and 5% weight composition. The preparation is carried out in the glove box which is flowed with argon gas to ensure the work of the RMA technique in an inert state. The RMA techniques is carried out for 10 hours with Hydrogen gas flowing. Thus, the Mg85Al15 + Ti5 alloy is annealed with a heating temperature variation of 300; 340; and 380 °C. Characterization of crystal structure, micro and thermal tests were observed using X-Ray Difraction, SEM-EDX and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The results of analysis of the crystal and micro structures after aniling become homogeneous and this shows that the optimum temperature of the hydrogen storage material occurs at a temperature of 300 °C. Moreover, the catalyst activity against dissociation of Mg-H2 bonds can determine the decrease in desorption temperature compared to the effect of aniling temperature. The integration of RMA techniques in MgAlTi metal alloys can improve hydrogen storage.
