Abstract

In this paper we report on kinetics studies of the growth rates of a hydride phase during the metal-hydride phase transformation of Mg films doped with transition metals (=Ti, Fe). Infrared emission imaging of wedge-shaped thin films during hydrogen loading reveals different effects of Ti and Fe additives on Mg hydride growth rates. Compared to hydrogenation of pure Mg, Ti addition (atomic fraction 1.6 % and 2.3 %) does not increase the Mg hydride growth rate. However, this doping results in the formation of a thicker hydride layer residing on top of the films. The hydrogenation rate is increased by an order of magnitude for addition of atomic fraction 3.1 % of Fe and the thickness of Mg hydride layer is more than twice that of the hydride layer during hydrogenation of pure Mg. Results obtained here can be used to guide powder design for hydrogen storage applications.
