Magnesium nanoparticles confined in carbon aerogels were successfully synthesized through hydrogenation of infiltrated dibutyl-magnesium followed by hydrogen desorption at 623 K. The average crystallite size of Mg nanoparticle is calculated to be 19.3 nm based on X-ray diffraction analyses. TEM observations showed that the size of MgH2 particle is mainly distributed in the range from 5.0 to 20.0 nm, with a majority portion smaller than 10.0 nm. The hydrogenation and dehydrogenation enthalpies of the confined Mg are determined to be -65.1 +/- 1.56 kJ/mol H-2 and 68.8 +/- 1.03 kJ/mol H-2 by Pressure-composition-temperature tests, respectively, slightly lower than the corresponding enthalpies for pure Mg. In addition, the apparent activation energy for hydrogen absorption is determined to be 29.4 kJ/mol H-2, much lower than that of the micro-size Mg particles. These results indicate that the thermodynamic and absorption kinetic properties of confined Mg nanoparticles can be significantly improved due to the `nanosize effect'.
