Abstract
The hydride Mg2FeH6 was synthesized by high-energy ball milling of MgH 2 and Fe under argon atmosphere without subsequent sintering. After 60 h of milling, 56% wt. of Mg2FeH6 was synthesized. This yield was dedu ced from Rieltveld analysis of the X-ray powder measurements and confi rmed by pressured differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC). Hydrogen c apacity measurements indicated that the loss of capacity with cycling is minimal. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
