Deskripsi
In this work, the possibility of creating a polymer-based adaptive scaffold for improving the hydrogen storage properties of the system 2LiH+MgB<sub>2</sub>+7.5(3TiCl<sub>3</sub>·AlCl<sub>3</sub>) was studied. Because of its chemical stability toward the hydrogen storage material, poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) or in-short TPX<sup>TM</sup> was chosen as the candidate for the scaffolding structure. The composite system was obtained after ball milling of 2LiH+MgB<sub>2</sub>+7.5(3TiCl<sub>3</sub>·AlCl<sub>3</sub>) and a solution of TPX<sup>TM</sup> in cyclohexane. The investigations carried out over the span of ten hydrogenation/de-hydrogenation cycles indicate that the material containing TPX<sup>TM</sup> possesses a higher degree of hydrogen storage stability.
