Description
One of the most promising issues for the introduction of the hydrogen economy is the use of hydrogen as energy vector in the form of solid storage material based on nanoscaffold hydrides. When dealing with nanoporous compounds, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) gives invaluable information that can help to develop the most suitable material. In the present work nanoscale particles of Mg(11BD4)2 and NaAlD4 infiltrated in carbon scaffolds were studied by SANS and their behavior compared with the bulk powders. The particles size has been estimated to be in the range of 1-6 nm for the nanoconfined Mg-borohydride and < 5 nm in the case of infiltrated NaAlD4. (author)
