Abstract

A complex catalyst for enhancing the dehydrogenation kinetics of LiAlH₄ was developed by using an impregnation process to decorate TiCl₃ on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The effects of these composite catalysts on the dehydrogenation behavior were investigated by using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The experimental results showed that the initial dehydrogenation temperature could be lowered by adding the appropriate amount of TiCl₃-MWCNTs composite. LiAlH₄ became unstable and decomposed even at room temperature when 20 wt% TiCl₃-MWCNTs was added.
