Superconducting films of MgB₂ via ion beam mixing of Mg/B multilayers

Journal Article Beckham, J. L. ; Bayu Aji, L. B. ; Baker, A. A. ; ... - Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics

The growth of smooth superconducting MgB₂ films in a non-epitaxial regime is challenging. Here, we study the formation of superconducting MgB₂ films by solid-phase reactive inter-diffusion of sputter-deposited Mg/B multilayers, employing ion beam mixing to disperse the multilayers prior to thermal annealing. The multilayers are intermixed by room-temperature bombardment with 500 keV Xe ions to doses up to 4 × 10¹⁶ cm^–2, followed by thermal annealing to form MgB₂. Results show that such an intermixing step leads to a dramatic reduction in surface roughness of superconducting films. However, lattice defects produced by ion bombardment reduce the critical superconducting transition temperature, an effect which scales monotonically with ion dose. The critical temperature can be recovered by an additional defect annealing step atmore » $$700\ ^{\circ}{\rm C}$$.« less

The influence of LiH and TiH₂ on hydrogen storage in MgB₂ I: Promotion of bulk hydrogenation at reduced temperature

Journal Article Snider, J. L. ; Liu, Y. -S. ; Sawvel, A. M. ; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

Mg(BH₄)₂ is an attractive hydrogen storage material, owing to its high gravimetric capacity of 14.9 wt %. However, the dehydrogenated material MgB₂ is very difficult to rehydrogenate, requiring excessive pressures and temperatures. Here we report the influence of LiH and TiH₂ on hydrogen storage reactions involving Bulk MgB₂ using XRD, XAS, FTIR and NMR. In ball-milled mixtures of LiH/MgB₂, the LiH loses crystallinity but remains undissociated, forming a weakly bound complex with MgB₂. The weak interactions produce minor variations in the local electronic structure at B and Mg, but do not markedly affect the underlying MgB₂ hexagonal crystal structure. Nomore »« less

Elucidating the mechanism of MgB₂ initial hydrogenation via a combined experimental–theoretical study

Journal Article Ray, Keith G. ; Klebanoff, Leonard E. ; Lee, Jonathan R. I. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP

Mg(BH₄)₂ is a promising solid-state hydrogen storage material, releasing 14.9 wt% hydrogen upon conversion to MgB₂. Although several dehydrogenation pathways have been proposed, the hydrogenation process is less well understood. Here, we present a joint experimental-theoretical study that elucidates the key atomistic mechanisms associated with the initial stages of hydrogen uptake within MgB₂. Fourier transform infrared, X-ray absorption, and X-ray emission spectroscopies are integrated with spectroscopic simulations to show that hydrogenation can initially proceed via direct conversion of MgB₂ to Mg(BH₄)₂ complexes. The associated energy landscape is mapped by combining ab initio calculations with barriers extracted from the experimental uptakemore »« less

Kinetic Enhancement of Direct Hydrogenation of MgB₂ to Mg(BH₄)₂ upon Mechanical Milling with THF, MgH₂, and/or Mg

Journal Article Sugai, Cody ; Kim, Stephen ; Severa, Godwin ; ... - ChemPhysChem

Modification of magnesium diboride, MgB₂, by mechanical milling with THF, MgH₂, and/or Mg results in a lowering of the conditions required for its direct, bulk hydrogenation to magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH₄)₂, by 300 bar and 100 degrees C. Following mechanical milling with MgH₂ or THF and Mg, MgB₂ can be hydrogenated to Mg(BH₄)₂ at 300 degrees C under 700 bar of H₂ while achieving ~54-71% conversion to the borohydride. The discovery of a means of dramatically lowering the conditions required for the hydrogenation of MgB₂ is an important step towards the development of a practical onboard hydrogen storage system based onmore »« less

Sorption and desorption properties of a CaH{sub 2}/MgB{sub 2}/CaF{sub 2} reactive hydride composite as potential hydrogen storage material

Journal Article Suarez Alcantara, K., E-mail: karinasa_1979@yahoo.com ; Boesenberg, U ; Zavorotynska, O ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The hydrogenation behavior of 3CaH{sub 2}+4MgB{sub 2}+CaF{sub 2} composite was studied by manometric measurements, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy. The maximum observed quantity of hydrogen loaded in the composite was 7.0 wt%. X-ray diffraction showed the formation of Ca(BH{sub 4}){sub 2} and MgH{sub 2} after hydrogenation. The activation energy for the dehydrogenation reaction was evaluated by DSC measurements and turns out to be 162{+-}15 kJ mol{sup -1} H{sub 2}. This value decreases due to cycling to 116{+-}5 kJ mol{sup -1} H{sub 2} for the third dehydrogenation step. A decrease of ca. 25-50 deg.more »« less
