摘要
Nb_(2)O_(5)nanoparticles with an average particle size of 10 nm supported on a rhombic dodecahedral metal organic framework(MOF)were successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction and subsequent calcination process.Experimental results demonstrated that the prepared catalyst drastically improved the hydrogen storage behavior of MgH_(2).7 wt%Nb_(2)O_(5)@MOF doped MgH_(2)started to desorb hydrogen at 181.9℃and 6.2 wt%hydrogen could be released within 2.6 min and 6.3 min at 275℃and 250℃,respectively.The fully dehydrogenated composite also displayed excellent hydrogenation by decreasing the onset absorption temperature to 25℃and taking up4.9 wt%and 6.5 wt%hydrogen within 6 min at 1750C and 1500C,respectively.Moreover,the corresponding activation energy was calculated to be 75.57±4.16 kJ mol^(-1)for desorption reaction and 51.38±1.09 kJ mol^(-1)for absorption reaction.After 20 cycles,0.5 wt%hydrogen capacity was lost for the MgH_(2)+7 wt%Nb_(2)O_(5)@MOF composite,much lower than 1.5 wt%of the MgH_(2)+7 wt%Nb_(2)O_(5)composite.However,the addition of Nb_(2)O_(5)@MOF had limited effect on reducing the dehydrogenation enthalpy of MgH_(2).Microstructure analysis revealed that Nb_(2)O_(5)particles were uniformly distributed on surface of the MgH_(2)matrix and synergistically improved the hydrogen storage property of MgH_(2)with MOF.
