  • Patent number: 10202279
    Abstract: Provided are a CaMg2-based alloy hydride material for hydrolysis production of hydrogen, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The material has a general formula of CaMgxMyHz, wherein M is Ni, Co or Fe, 1.5?x<2.0, 0<y?0.5, and 3?z<6. The preparation method for the material comprises the following steps: (1) stacking three pure metal block materials in a crucible, wherein a metal block material M is placed at the top; (2) installing the crucible in a high-frequency induction melting furnace, evacuating and introducing an argon gas; (3) starting the high-frequency induction melting furnace to heat at a low power first, then increasing the power to uniformly fuse same; and thereafter cooling with the furnace to obtain an alloy ingot, and hammer-milling to obtain a hydrogen storage alloy based on CaMg2; and (4) hydrogenating the hammer-milled hydrogen storage alloy to obtain the material for hydrolysis production of hydrogen. The preparation method is simple and low in cost.
