| Abstract | |
The development of novel high entropy alloys (HEA) of the TiVNbCrMn system for hydrogen storage is reported. The CALPHAD method was used to design alloys with a body centered cubic structures. Three alloy compositions, Ti35V35Nb20Cr5Mn5; Ti32V32Nb18Cr9Mn9; Ti27.5V27.5Nb20Cr12.5Mn12.5, were fabricated by the arc melting process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM techniques. The activation behavior during the 1st hydrogen absorption of these alloys was investigated at room temperature and 2 MPa of H2 pressure. These alloys absorb hydrogen forming FCC hydrides with high capacities of 2.47, 2.09 and 3.38 wt%, respectively. Activation kinetics and incubation times were distinct for each alloy's composition. Hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles were performed for two alloys showing promising results since the maximum capacity of the alloys has been maintained despite a reduction in absorption kinetics.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
