A
hydrogen storage material additive, a composite
hydrogen storage material, and a preparation method thereof, relate to the technical field of
hydrogen storage materials and solve the problem of slow low-temperature hydrogen release
kinetics in existing
hydrogen storage systems. The additive is a CeO2@TiO2
nanorod core-shell heterostructure with Co
metal loaded on the surface, with a
Co loading of 2 wt.%. CeCl3·7H2O and NaOH solution are used as raw materials for
hydrothermal reaction, centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain CeO2
powder, which is added to
anhydrous ethanol, stirred, and then C 16 H 36 O4Ti and deionized water are reacted in an
oil bath, centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain a precursor. This precursor is then calcined to obtain CeO2@TiO2
powder, which is then added to deionized water and stirred. Co(NO3)2·3H2O is then added, stirred for reaction, filtered, dried, and then calcined in reducing gas to obtain the additive. This additive can be used in LiAlH4-AlH3 composite
hydrogen storage systems and has broad application prospects.
