Efficient catalysis by MgCl2 in hydrogen generation viahydrolysis of Mg-based hydride prepared by hydriding combustion synthesis

Abstract

Magnesium chloride efficiently catalyzed the hydrolysis of Mg-based hydride prepared by hydriding combustion synthesis. Hydrogen yield of 1635 mL g⁻¹ was obtained (MgH₂), i.e. with 96% conversion in 30 min at 303 K.
