Graphical abstract: Hydrogen content vs. desorption time curves for consecutive 1st desorptions of 40 wt%MgH{sub 2} + 30 wt%LiBH{sub 4} + 30 wt%(2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2}) at 533–873 K. Highlights: ► Addition of MgF{sub 2} and LiBH{sub 4} with a higher hydrogen storage capacity to MgH{sub 2}. ► Preparation of 40%MgH{sub 2} + 30%LiBH{sub 4} + 30% (2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2}) composite. ► Examination of desorption properties of the composite. ► Total desorbed hydrogen quantity for consecutive 1st desorptions of 7.07 wt%. ► Reactions of LiBH{sub 4} → LiH + B + (3/2)H{sub 2}, and 2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2} → 2LiF + MgB{sub 2} + 4H{sub 2}. -- Abstract: A mixture of containing two chemical equivalents of lithium borohyride and one equivalent of magnesium fluoride is known to yield hydrogen in an amount of about 7.6 wt% of the mixture when heated to about 150 °C at atmospheric pressure by the following reaction; 2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2} = 2LiF + MgB{sub 2} + 4H{sub 2}. In order to increase hydrogen storage capacity of Mg-based materials, a mixture with a composition of 2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2} and LiBH{sub 4}with a higher hydrogen storage capacity of 18.4 wt% were added to MgH{sub 2}. MgH{sub 2} composite with a composition of 40 wt%MgH{sub 2} + 30 wt%LiBH{sub 4} + 30 wt%(2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2}) was prepared by reactive mechanical grinding. The hydrogen storage properties of the sample were then examined. Hydrogen content vs. desorption time curves for consecutive 1st desorptions of 40 wt%MgH{sub 2} + 30 wt%LiBH{sub 4} + 30 wt%(2LiBH{sub 4} + MgF{sub 2}) at 533–873 K showed that the total desorbed hydrogen quantity for consecutive 1st desorptions is 7.07 wt%.
