The mixed alanate K2NaAlH6 has been synthesised by ball-milling a mixture of KH and NaAlH4 and subsequent annealing at 150 degrees C under a stabilizing hydrogen pressure. It takes a cubic ordered perovskite-type structure (space group Fm (3) over barm, a = 8.118(l) A) where the ideal octahedral AlH63- units form a cubic close-packed structure with K+ in all tetrahedral sites and Na+ in all octahedral sites. K2NaAlH6 with 1 mol% TiF3 decompose quickly and reversibly with a flat plateau. Pressure-composition isotherms have been measured at five temperatures in the range 280-325 degrees C. The decomposition enthalpy and entropy were determined to 98(2) kJ/mol H-2 and 150(4) J/(K mol H-2) from the van't Hoff equation. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
