The hydrolysis of Mg-based alloys and their hydrides can produce hydrogen with high theoretical capacity, but the formation of passive magnesium hydroxides can interrupt the reaction, leading to low yield and sluggish reaction rates. Enhancement methods are needed to improve both yield and kinetics in the hydrolysis reactions.
The hydrolysis of Mg-based alloys and their hydrides with high abundance on the earth and low cost could produce hydrogen with high theoretical capacity and the formation of by-products that have no pollution to the environment. Hence, it has been regarded as one of the most promising way for hydrogen generation. Particularly, a gravimetric capacity of 6.4 wt% and 3.4 wt% H-2 could be produced from the hydrolysis of pure Mg and MgH2, respectively, even when stoichiometric water is included for calculation. The formation of passive magnesium hydroxides with dense structure, however, could immediately interrupt the hydrolysis reaction of Mg/MgH2, which leads to ultralow yield and sluggish hydrogen generation rate. Recent studies have demonstrated that the hydrolysis reaction of Mg/MgH2 could be effectively enhanced in terms of both yield and kinetics by the formation of Mg-based alloys and their hydrides. This review aims to summarize the recent progress in the hydrolysis of Mg-based alloys and their hydrides and the involved hydrolysis mechanisms. (c) 2021 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
