Effect of isostructural phase transition on cycling stability of ZrCo-based alloys for hydrogen isotopes storage

Jiacheng Qi et al.

Summary: A single isostructural phase transition with high thermal stability and structural stability is achieved in the ZrCo-H system by multicomponent substitution for the first time. The Zr0.8Nb0.2Co0.6Cu0.15Ni0.25 alloy exhibits high thermal stability and low desorption temperature at 100 kPa, resulting in improved cycling stability.

Direct Observation of Vacancy-Cluster-Mediated Hydride Nucleation and the Anomalous Precipitation Memory Effect in Zirconium

Si-Mian Liu et al.

Summary: This study provides experimental evidence to show that vacancy clusters promote heterogeneous nucleation in zirconium and cause an anomalous precipitation memory effect. Atomistic simulations reveal that hydrogen atoms preferentially segregate at vacancy sites and clusters, assisting hydride nucleation and stimulating the unusual memory effect. This finding challenges traditional views on the sequence of nucleation sites and provides insights into solid phase transformations related to vacancy-sensitive alloying elements.

Hydrogen trapping and embrittlement in high-strength Al alloys

Huan Zhao et al.

Summary: As regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation become stricter, it has become necessary to re-examine the materials used for vehicles. While high-strength aluminum alloys commonly used in aircrafts can help reduce the weight of automobiles, they are prone to environmental degradation. Hydrogen 'embrittlement' is often considered the main cause of this degradation, but the exact mechanisms behind this failure are not well understood due to the challenges in analyzing hydrogen at the atomic scale. In this study, near-atomic-scale analysis of hydrogen trapped in second-phase particles and at grain boundaries in a high-strength aluminum alloy was performed. These observations guided atomistic ab initio calculations which revealed that the co-segregation of alloying elements and hydrogen promotes grain boundary decohesion, and the strong partitioning of hydrogen into the second-phase particles removes solute hydrogen from the matrix, thus preventing hydrogen embrittlement. This research advances our understanding of hydrogen-assisted embrittlement in aluminum alloys and highlights the role of hydrogen traps in reducing cracking and guiding new alloy design.

Achieving excellent cycle stability in Zr-Nb-Co-Ni based hydrogen isotope storage alloys by controllable phase transformation reaction

Zhendong Yao et al.

Summary: Hydrogen isotope storage in the form of deuterium and tritium has gained increasing attention from researchers, and ZrCo alloy is considered a promising material for this purpose. However, its poor cycle life and capacity retention have hindered its practical application. In this study, a co-substitution strategy of Nb for Zr and Ni for Co in ZrCo alloy is proposed to overcome these drawbacks. The Zr0.8Nb0.2Co0.8Ni0.2 alloy shows superior cycle life (97.6% retention) and remarkable capacity (2.42 H (f. u.)) in 100 cycles, outperforming existing hydrogen isotope storage alloys. These improvements are attributed to the stable homogenous structural phase transformation and ordered migration mechanism of H atom.

Summary: The Zr-2(Co0.5Fe0.2Ni0.2V0.1) intermetallic alloy prepared by arc melting method shows promising potential for practical applications with its high hydrogen capacity and good anti-disproportionation behavior at room temperature. The alloy exhibits a decrease in hydrogen capacity in the first few cycles followed by stability, likely due to the high stability of the hydride. The study highlights interesting features of the hydride that could be considered for practical use.
