| Abstract Scope |
Issues of climate change have often weakened environmental and social sector of every society. The regular consumption of fossil fuels for energy production has been responsible for the recurring greenhouse gas emissions that negatively affect everyday life. Hydrogen energy is a clean and renewable secondary energy that can be a perfect substitute for fossil fuels. This work focuses on investigating the effects of TiO2 and MnO2 on the dehydrogenation of MgH2 The hydride is suitable for solid-state hydrogen storage but its use is bedeviled by its high temperature hydrogen desorption. The MgH2/TiO2-/MnO2 composite will be processed via high-energy ball milling; characterizations including DSC, TGA, SEM, and X-ray XRD will be carried out on processed samples. Results garnered will provide information on the temperature, amount, and rate of hydrogen release from the composite. In addition to this, the mechanism for the catalytic involvement of each additive on MgH2 will be known. |
