摘要: Finite fossil-fuel supplies, nuclear waste and global warming linked to CO2 emissions have made the development of alternative/'green' methods energy production, conver- sion storage popular topics in today's energy-conscious society. These crucial environmental issues, together with rapid advance eagerness from electric automotive industry combined make radically improved systems a worldwide imperative. CuMg2 has an orthorhombic crystal structure does not form hydride: it reacts reversibly hydrogen produce Cu2Mg MgH2. However, CuLixMg2-x (x = 0.08) hexagonal structure, just like NiMg2, compound known for its properties. NiMg2 absorbs up 3.6 wt% H. Our studies showed that only considerable amount hydrogen, but also starts releasing at temperature range 40-130 C. In order determine properties hydrogenated CuLixMg2-x, absorption- desorption, Differential scanning calorimeter thermo- gravimetric experiments were performed. Neutron spectra collected elucidate behavior Li-doped intermetallic. Using DFT calculations we able best value x compare different possible structures hydride.
