    Abstract:

    In order to improve the stability of α-AlH3, acidic and organic solutions were used as modifiers to treat α-AlH3. Through structural characterization, stability test, and mechanical sensitivity test, the properties of samples before and after the treatment were compared and analyzed. The performance on hydrogen release and the corresponding modification mechanisms were compared, and the modifier with a better stabilizing effect was obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed modification methods are effective and have a negligible effect on the hydrogen release properties of the studied samples. The weight loss associated with hydrogen release observed for the modified α-AlH3 does not exceed by 1%, and the changes in initial temperature and peak temperature of hydrogen release are less than ±3 ℃, the maximum hydrogen release rate is not affected by more than 20%. Treatment by hydrobromic acid solution exhibited the best effect on enhancing the storage stability of α-AlH3, and the amount of hydrogen release for the studied samples during the storage was found to decrease from 0.87% to 0.02%. It suggests that the acidic and organic solution treatment can reduce the impurities and defects on the surface of α-AlH3 sample, and the amorphous alumina or aluminum hydroxide are likely to be formed on the surface of α-AlH3 after the acidic solution treatment which enhances the stability of α-AlH3. Compared with organic solutions, the acidic solution treatment shows a better ability to maintain the hydrogen release properties of α-AlH3, enhance its storage stability, and reduce mechanical sensitivity, which can be used as a promising modifier in practical applications.
