Single-crystal ZrCo nanoparticle for advanced hydrogen and H-isotope storage. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7966. [PMID: 38042920 PMCID: PMC10693545 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43828-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogen-isotope storage materials are essential for the controlled nuclear fusion. However, the currently used smelting-ZrCo alloy suffers from rapid degradation of performance due to severe disproportionation. Here, we reveal a defect-derived disproportionation mechanism and report a nano-single-crystal strategy to solve ZrCo's problems. Single-crystal nano-ZrCo is synthesized by a wet-chemistry method and exhibits excellent comprehensive hydrogen-isotope storage performances, including ultrafast uptake/release kinetics, high anti-disproportionation ability, and stable cycling, far superior to conventional smelting-ZrCo. Especially, a further incorporation of Ti into nano-ZrCo can almost suppress the disproportionation reaction. Moreover, a mathematical relationship between dehydrogenation temperature and ZrCo particle size is established. Additionally, a microwave method capable of nondestructively detecting the hydrogen storage state of ZrCo is developed. The proposed disproportionation mechanism and anti-disproportionation strategy will be instructive for other materials with similar problems.

Abstract
The hydrogen/deuterium sorption properties of Ni33Ti39Nb28 synthesized by the vacuum induction melting technique were measured between 400 and 495 °C for pressure lower than 3 bar. The Sieverts law is valid up to H(D)/M < 0.2 in its ideal form; the absolute values of the hydrogenation/deuteration enthalpy are ΔH(H2) = 85 ± 5 kJ/mol and ΔH(D2) = 84 ± 4 kJ/mol. From the kinetics of absorption, the diffusion coefficient was derived, and an Arrhenius dependence from the temperature was obtained, with Ea,d = 12 ± 1 kJ/mol for both hydrogen isotopes. The values of the alloy permeability, obtained by combining the solubility and the diffusion coefficient, were of the order of 10-9 mol m-1 s-1 Pa-0.5, a value which is one order of magnitude lower than that of Ni41Ti42Nb17, until now the best Ni-Ti-Nb alloy for hydrogen purification. In view of the simplicity of the technique here proposed to calculate the permeability, this method could be used for the preliminary screening of new alloys.

Abstract
Pd–Ag alloys are largely used as hydrogen separation membranes and, as a consequence, the Pd–Ag–H system has been intensively studied. On the contrary, fewer information is available for the Pd–Ag–D system; thus, the aim of this work is to improve the knowledge of the isotope effect on the commercial Pd77Ag23 alloy, especially for temperature above 200 °C. In particular, deuterium absorption measurements are carried out in the Pd77Ag23 alloy in the temperature range between 79 and 400 °C and in the pressure range between 10−2 and 16 bar. In this exploited pressure (p) and composition (c) range, above 300 °C the pc isotherms display the typical shape of materials where only a solid solution of deuterium is present while at lower temperatures these curves seem to be better described by the coexistence of a solid solution and a deuteride in a large composition range. The obtained results are compared and discussed with the ones previously measured with the lightest hydrogen isotope. Such a comparison shows that the Pd77Ag23 alloy exhibits a clear inverse isotope effect, as the equilibrium pressure of the Pd–Ag–D system is higher than in Pd–Ag–H by a factor of ≈2 and the solubility of deuterium is about one half of that of hydrogen. In addition, the absorption measurements were used to assess the deuteration enthalpy that below 300 °C is ΔHdeut = 31.9 ± 0.3 kJ/mol, while for temperatures higher than 300 °C, ΔHdeut increases to 43 ± 1 kJ/mol. Additionally, in this case a comparison with the lighter isotope is given and both deuteration enthalpy values result lower than those reported for hydrogenation. The results described in this paper are of practical interest for applications operating above 200 °C, such as membranes or packing column, in which Pd77Ag23 has to interact with a gas stream containing both hydrogen isotopes.

Abstract
The electrical resistivity of Pd-Ag (silver 21 wt.%) in hydrogen and deuterium atmosphere at 100 kPa has been investigated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrical resistivity of Pd-Ag vs. the temperature presents the characteristic S-shaped curve with a minimum and a maximum of the resistivity in different positions for the tests in hydrogen and deuterium. The results have been related to: (1) the different isotope ratios, H/M and D/M, and (2) their position in the Pd-Ag lattice. The behavior of the electrical resistivity is discussed in details by considering the hydrogen and deuterium uploading into the alloy, its effect on the conduction electrons, and the scattering of the isotopes atoms into the metal lattice. Measurements carried out in hydrogen with slow temperature ramping between 25-250 °C evidenced a hysteresis effect that can be explained by the different energy levels of isotopes in O-sites and T-sites.

Abstract
One of the key issues for an upcoming hydrogen energy-based society is to develop highly efficient hydrogen-storage materials. Among the many hydrogen-storage materials reported, transition-metal hydrides can reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen, and have thus attracted much interest from fundamental science to applications. In particular, the Pd-H system is a simple and classical metal-hydrogen system, providing a platform suitable for a thorough understanding of ways of controlling the hydrogen-storage properties of materials. By contrast, metal nanoparticles have been recently studied for hydrogen storage because of their unique properties and the degrees of freedom which cannot be observed in bulk, i. e., the size, shape, alloying, and surface coating. In this review, we overview the effects of such degrees of freedom on the hydrogen-storage properties of Pd-related nanomaterials, based on the fundamental science of bulk Pd-H. We shall show that sufficiently understanding the nature of the interaction between hydrogen and host materials enables us to control the hydrogen-storage properties though the electronic-structure control of materials.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the impact of the vibrational frequencies on the thermodynamic behavior of hydrides, deuterides and tritides, using high scale harmonic phonon calculations based on first-principle calculations. 115 MH y hydrides were considered, for [Formula: see text] with M among 30 metallic elements. The results were found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data and pointed out trends on the evolution of the hydride zero point energy as a function of the crystal structure and the host metal nature. Based on this information, the vibration contribution to the formation enthalpy was deduced. This contribution is responsible for the differences between the enthalpies and therefore pressures of formation of the hydride, deuteride and tritide compounds. This so-called 'isotope effect' is experimentally observed but has never been studied by large scale calculations. A straightforward method has been developed allowing to quantify the isotope effect at non zero temperature. It explains the experimentally observed relative stability of hydride, deuteride and tritide compounds. As a major achievement, a new phenomenon was highlighted, which has never been anticipated, consisting in an inversion of the isotope effect when the temperature increases.

Abstract
We report on binary solid-solution nanoparticles (NPs) composed of Pd and Ir, which are not miscible at the equilibrium state of the bulk, for the first time, by means of a process of hydrogen absorption/desorption from core (Pd)/shell (Ir) NPs. Only 20 at% replacement with Ir atoms doubled the hydrogen-storage capability compared to Pd NPs, which are a representative hydrogen-storage material. Furthermore, the systematic control of hydrogen concentrations and the corresponding pressure in Pd and Pd-M NPs (M = Ir, Pt, Au) have been achieved based on the band filling control of Pd NPs.
