One of the possible paths for improving the kinetic characteristics of magnesium hydriding is addition of catalytic doses of metals or intermetallic compounds (IMC). The authors added four types of catalysts to magnesium: Ni, which forms with magnesium the intermetallide Mg/sub 2/Ni; Ce, Nb, and Ti, which form the hydrides CeH/sub 3/, NbH/sub 2/, and TiH/sub 2/; Fe and Co, and Si and C which form compounds having covalent bonds. It was shown that mechanical alloying is a promising method for obtaining hydrogen-storing materials, which while retaining a fairly high hydrogen absorption capacity, possess better kinetic characteristics as compared to Mg, especially in the case of hydriding.
