Description

Ti-Cr-Mn-based hydrogen storage alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen storage materials, and particularly relates to a Ti-Cr-Mn-based hydrogen storage alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The high-density hydrogen storage material and the hydrogen compression material based on the resource advantages of China are created to meet the high-density safety hydrogen storage demand, and the high-density hydrogen storage material and the hydrogen compression material are the basis of a high-safety solid hydrogen storage and supply system for a hydrogen station. And a three-stage hydrogen compressor is adopted, the primary hydrogen compression hydrogen storage material is supplied with pressure of 25MPa, the middle-stage hydrogen compression hydrogen storage material is supplied with pressure of 35MPa, and the final-stage hydrogen compression hydrogen storage material is supplied with pressure of 85MPa. Mainly meets the filling pressure requirements of 35MPa and 70MPa of the hydrogenation station. The primary compression hydrogen storage material is required to be boosted from low pressure to 25MPa, and the material is critical in shape selection and preparation, and is the first link. The development platform hydrogen pressure highly matched high compression ratio static hydrogen compression material realizes that the equilibrium pressure of hydrogen release of the hydrogen compression material is 25, 45 and 85MPa respectively at the temperature lower than 100 ℃ is an important support for realizing large-scale utilization of hydrogen energy. Wherein, the hydrogen storage alloy for the primary hydrogen compressor of 25MPa and the preparation method are key links.
AB 2 The binary alloy has the advantages of large hydrogen storage amount, easy activation and good dynamic performance, and is concerned by the scientific and industrial circles. Zirconium is used as one of novel mineral resources of national strategy, and the external dependence is over 90 percent for a long time. In 2017, the yield of China is less than 1 ten thousand tons, the demand reaches 62.3 ten thousand tons, and the imported demand exceeds 100 ten thousand tons in 2020. The reserve of the Chinese zirconium resources is 50 ten thousand t and is less than 1% of the global reserve, and the zircon sand is mainly concentrated in southeast coastal areas represented by Wenchang in Hainan, wherein the reserve of the zircon sand in Hainan is 67% of the total reserve of the national sand, and 19% of the reserve of the national zirconium resources, and is the only coastal sand which can be exploited at present in China. Titanium resources in China are the first place in the world, and the total reserve of titanium resources is found to be about 20 hundred million tons at home and abroad, and the total reserve of titanium resources in China accounts for about 48 percent. There are 20 provincial municipalities in China with titanium ore 98.9% being ilmenite and only about 1% being rutile. Vanadium titano-magnetite is the largest reserve in China, accounts for 90% of national titanium resources, and is mainly distributed in Panzhihua and Maillard. Therefore, based on the resource advantage of China, the innovative preparation of the high-density hydrogen storage material and the hydrogen compression material should take priority of titanium-based AB 2 Hydrogen storage materials.
In addition, the hydrogen absorbing and releasing material requirement of the metal hydride hydrogen booster suitable for high pressure gradeIs obviously different from the working temperature range and the corresponding hydrogen absorption and desorption rate required by the hydrogen absorption and desorption materials of the metal hydride hydrogen booster with low pressure level. The compressed material adopts rare earth system AB at present 5 AB-type and ilmenite-type materials, e.g. LaNi 5 ,LaNi 4.63 Al 0.37 ,TiFe,TiFe 0.9 Mn0.1, etc. These materials generally have the lowest capacity (1.5 to 1.8 mass%) and require temperatures above 150 ℃ to reach 20MPa, and are therefore not suitable for use as chemical hydrogen compression materials to achieve greater than 20 MPa. Wang Xinhua A Ti-Mn/Ti-Cr multi-element hydrogen storage alloy for metal hydride hydrogen compressor was studied, and a pair of hydrogen storage alloys (Ti) 0.95 Zr 0.15 )(Mn 1.1 Cr 0.7 V 0.2 ) And (Ti) 0.95 Zr 0.07 )(Cr 1.4 Mn 0.4 Fe 0.1 Cu 0.1 ) The alloy is used as low-pressure level alloy and high-pressure level alloy of a two-stage heat driven chemical hydrogen compressor, and hydrogen with the pressure of 2.5MPa can be compressed to more than 40MPa by taking water as heat exchange stop. Research shows that at 30 ℃, ti 0.83 V 0.08 Nb 0.25 Mn 1.17 Ni 0.60 Al 0.07 The compound absorbs hydrogen at 24.2MPa and the hydride is heated to 124 c, which will release hydrogen at a rate of 80 MPa. Therefore, three different hydrogen storage materials for hydrogen compressors cannot be used in common. For example, medium-grade hydrogen compressed (i.e., medium-grade hydrogen compressed) hydrogen storage materials cannot be applied to primary hydrogen compression.
At present, the problems of the primary hydrogen compression hydrogen storage machine are focused on the problems of high cost, low hydrogen absorption and desorption capacity, lag in hydrogen absorption and desorption, difficulty in activation and the like under the pressure of 25MPa of a hydrogen desorption platform at the temperature lower than 100 ℃.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the resource advantages of China and the actual application demands of hydrogen compression materials, the invention provides a Ti-Cr-Mn-based hydrogen storage alloy and a preparation method thereof, zr and Fe elements with higher abundance in crust are added into the Ti-Cr-Mn alloy, and the content of each metal is adjusted, so that the prepared hydrogen storage alloy has low cost, controllable platform pressure, easy activation and high hydrogen storage capacity, and meets the actual application demands of high-density hydrogen storage materials and hydrogen compression materials based on the resource advantages of China. The hydrogen storage alloy has the characteristics of low cost and controllable platform pressure, and is a nickel-free hydrogen storage material suitable for large-scale engineering application.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a Ti-Cr-Mn-based hydrogen storage alloy has a general formula (TiZr) 1+k Cr 2-x-y Mn x Fe y Wherein k represents an A-side superstoichiometric number, x, y and z represent the atomic numbers of Mn and Fe respectively, and the value range satisfies the following conditions: k is 0.01-0.05 (e.g., 0.02, 0.03, 0.04), x is 0.1-0.9 (e.g., 0.2, 0.3,0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8), y is 0.1-0.9 (e.g., 0.2, 0.3,0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8), wherein side A refers to TiCr 2 The Ti side in the hydrogen storage alloy corresponds to the general formula (TiZr) 1+k Cr 2-x-y Mn x Fe y In (TiZr) 1+k Side, B side is TiCr 2 Cr side in the hydrogen storage alloy corresponds to the general formula (TiZr) 1+k Cr 2-x-y Mn x Fe y Cr in (B) 2-x-y Mn x Fe y And (3) sides.
As a preferable implementation mode, the Ti-Cr-Mn-based hydrogen storage alloy consists of a C14 type hexagonal Laves type structure, zr and Fe are doped in a Ti-Cr-Mn matrix according to a proportion, and the doping mole number of Fe can be smaller than, equal to or larger than Mn, so that the alloy can be effectively regulated and controlled to regulate the hydrogen storage capacity and the plateau pressure.
At the (TiZr) 1+k Cr 2-x-y Mn x Fe y In the alloy, zr is selected to replace part of Ti on the side A, the side A is subjected to stoichiometric quantity, and the range of the stoichiometric quantity k is 0.01-0.05; mn and Fe are selected to replace Cr on the B side.
In the invention, because Zr and Ti belong to the same transition element of the subgroup and have the same outer layer electronic structure,atomic radius of greater than->Zr replaces part of Ti atoms in the alloy, thereby increasing the unit cell volume and increasing the hydrogen absorption capacity. The over-stoichiometric amount of the A-side element has obvious effect on improving the hydrogen absorption and activation performance of the alloy. With the increase of Ti over-stoichiometry, the alloy activation performance is obviously improved, meanwhile, the unit cell volume of the alloy is increased, the hydrogen absorption amount of the alloy is increased, and the platform pressure is reduced.

Since part of Cr is replaced by Mn, the properties of the main phase intermetallic compound and the corresponding hydride change. The addition of Mn easily forms defects in the phase transition process, namely active sites in the hydrogenation reaction, and the existence of the active sites improves the activation performance and the kinetic performance. Meanwhile, since the electronegativity of Mn is lower than that of Cr, the alloy plateau pressure is reduced. Preferably, x is 0.15-0.6 (e.g., 0.15,0.3,0.45, 0.6).

As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the hydrogen storage alloy, mn partially replaces Cr, and as the Mn atomic number (content) increases, the hydrogen absorption/desorption plateau pressure of the hydrogen storage alloy increases, and when the Mn atomic number increases from 0.15 (FIG. 1 a) to 0.6 (FIG. 1 d), the hydrogen storage alloy increases significantly from 4.32MPa to 7.82MPa at 298K while the hydrogen absorption plateau pressure increases from 3.21MPa to 6.67MPa due to Mn (atomic radius: 127pm, covalent radius: 117 pm) being smaller than Cr (atomic radius: 128pm, covalent radius: 118 pm) radius, with a related reduction in unit cell volume. When the Mn atomic number is 0.6, the hydrogen absorption temperature is increased from 298K to 318K, the hydrogen absorption pressure is increased from 7.82MPa to 12.59MPa, and the hydrogen release platform pressure is increased from 6.67MPa to 10.57MPa. In the temperature range 298K-318K, mn stoichiometry increases from 0.15 to 0.6, with no significant change in maximum hydrogen storage capacity (hydrogen storage capacity, i.e., mass hydrogen storage density) and reversible hydrogen storage capacity. 298K, the maximum hydrogen storage capacity at Mn stoichiometry of 0.6 is 1.79wt.%. Therefore, the Mn content has no obvious effect on the hydrogen storage capacity, and mainly regulates and controls the platform pressure and the activation performance of the material. .

As can be seen from Table 1, at 298K, the slope factors S of the four alloys f The Mn content in the alloy is gradually reduced from 0.48, and the slope factor S f Are all less than 0.5.Ti (Ti) 0.92 Zr 0.1 Cr 1.0 Mn 0.6 Fe 0.4 The hysteresis factor and the slope factor of the alloy are 0.16 and 0.31, respectively. The smaller the slope factor, the smaller the difference in hydrogen bonding ability of these gap sites (gap sites refer to interatomic gaps between metal chemicals), facilitating the release of hydrogen. As can be seen from a combination of the PCT curve (FIG. 1) and Table 1, the hysteresis (H f ) Are very small, and the platform hysteresis factor is increased from 0.11 in the Ti-Zr-Cr-Mn-Fe alloy along with the increase of Mn content, but the platform hysteresis factor is H f Are all less than 0.2. Thus Ti is 0.92 Zr 0.1 Cr 1.0 Mn 0.6 Fe 0.4 The alloy has excellent comprehensive performance.

Ti (Ti) 0.92 Zr 0.1 Cr 1.0 Mn 0.6 Fe 0.4 The corresponding hydrogen discharge platform pressures of the alloy at 298, 308, 318, 353 and 363K are 6.67MPa, 8.27MPa, 10.57MPa, 22.05MPa and 27.21MPa respectively; the hydrogen storage capacities (mass hydrogen storage densities) are respectively: 1.77 wt.%, 1.74 wt.%, 1.69wt.%, 1.61 wt.% and 1.54wt.%. At 298, 308, 318, 353 andthe corresponding hydrogen absorption platform pressures at 363K are 7.82MPa, 10.20MPa, 12.59MPa, 23.09MPa and 29.19MPa, respectively.

As can be seen from table 2, as the manganese content increases, both the enthalpy change and the entropy change of the hydride monotonically decrease, indicating that the hydride stability decreases. The number of manganese atoms is increased from 0.15 to 0.6, the hydrogen release enthalpy change delta Hd is reduced from 25.06kJ/mol to 19.50kJ/mol, and the entropy change delta Sd is reduced from 112.8kJ/mol to 100.12kJ/mol.
