摘要	In this paper, we report a careful study of the properties and mechanisms of a 2LiBH(4)-MgH2 composite with a niobium oxide (Nb2O5) additive. It was found that directly milling with a small amount of the Nb2O5 additive exerted a negligible effect on the dehydrogenation kinetics of the 2LiBH(4)-MgH2 composite in the first cycle. However the recycled sample showed notable property advantages over the neat 2LiBH(4)-MgH2 composite. Phase/chemical state analyses and control experiments were conducted to gain insight into the chemical transformation of the Nb-containing species. It was found that the Nb2O5 additive reacted with LiBH4 to form a niobium boride (NbB2) heterogeneous nucleation agent, via a niobium hydride (NbH2) intermediate, in the dehydrogenation process of the composite sample. The retarded formation of the NbB2 is a major mechanistic reason for the observed drastic property change of the composite upon cycling. As a solution, we employed a novel three-step method to controllably promote the formation of the targeted NbB2 species and improve its dispersion state. As expected, the 2LiBH(4)-MgH2-0.08Nb(2)O(5) composite sample, prepared using the new method, exhibits rapid dehydrogenation kinetics and high cyclic stability, which compare favorably with the literature results of the 2LiBH(4)-MgH2 composites with transition metal additives.
