The use of the conventional pressure–composition–temperature (PCT) method to determine the thermodynamics of metal hydrides is a time-consuming process. This work presents an efficient method based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), to characterize the thermodynamic parameters. Through cycling catalyzed magnesium hydride in a TGA apparatus under a flowing gas with a constant hydrogen partial pressure, TGA curves can be used to determine absorption/desorption equilibrium temperatures. Based on the van’t Hoff analysis, the reaction enthalpies and entropies can be derived from the equilibrium temperatures as a function of hydrogen pressure. Using the results of this work we calculated the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation enthalpies, which are 79.8 kJ per mol per H2 and 76.5 kJ per mol per H2, respectively. These values are in good agreement with those reported values using the PCT method. These results demonstrate that the TGA can be an efficient and effective method for measuring thermodynamic parameters of metal hydrides.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
