    No full text
    International audienceIn this contribution we report on the results of our recent 1H NMR studies of different metal hydrides of interest for reversible hydrogen storage applications: Ti-V-Cr alloys of various compositions, pure and with Zr7Ni10 or Hf7Ni10 additives, and in additives themselves. The temperature dependences of 1 H spin-lattice relaxation have been treated within an exchange model

    DFT calculations were used to study hydrogen desorption energy in a set of pure, Nb- or Zr-doped systems, containing vacancy-like defects and a MgH2 (110) defect-free surface. The preferential location site for dopants was determined by means of occupation energy analysis. Both transition metal atoms (Nb and Zr) preferred interstitial sites. The effect of vacancies in the systems was also considered. MgH2 with a Nb interstitial atom and MgH2 with a Zr interstitial atom containing a Mg vacancy modifies the surface geometry and weakens the Mg–H bonds thus easing the H desorption process.Fil: German, Estefania.
