Resumen en español

Esta Tesis de Maestría en Ingeniería se centró en el estudio de materiales para almacenamiento de hidrógeno. Específicamente, se investigaron materiales compuestos del sistema Li-Mg-B-N-H, basados en amiduro de magnesio (Mg(NH_2)_2) e hidruro de litio (LiH) junto con un conductor iónico, Li_4(NH_2)_3BH_4. En una primera parte se analizó el efecto de variar la proporción molar de los materiales de partida utilizados. Se sintetizaron los sistemas almacenadores utilizando los reactivos LiNH_2 : MgH_2 : LiBH_4 en las proporciones molares 2,6:1:0,2; 2:1:0,2 y 2:1,5:0,2 y se estudió su efecto en las propiedades de almacenamiento de hidrógeno. Se demostró que trabajar con las cantidades estequiométricas de reactivos no permite alcanzar la conversión completa en las reacciones de síntesis y se observa un remanente del reactivo LiNH_2. El sistema sintetizado en proporciones 2:1:0,2 mostró la mayor capacidad de almacenamiento de hidrógeno (4,2% p/p), mayor estabilidad al ciclado y cinéticas de liberación de hidrógeno más rápidas. Además, se comprobó un efecto beneficioso en la estabilidad al ciclado de los sistemas 2,6:1:0,2 y 2:1:0,2 al realizar un tratamiento térmico prolongado. En una segunda parte la investigación se focalizó en el efecto de la temperatura en la interacción con hidrógeno y las propiedades microestucturales del sistema 2:1:0,2, ya que este es el material que presentó mejores propiedades como almacenador de hidrógeno. Se realizaron estudios cinéticos, donde se analizó el efecto de la temperatura (rango: 140-220 ◦C) en la velocidad de reacción con hidrógeno y se calculó la energía de activación de las reacciones de hidrogenación y deshidrogenación. Los estudios microestructurales permitieron observar la formación de diversas estructuras y láminas delgadas, las cuales podrían asociarse a las buenas propiedades cinéticas mostradas por el sistema. En la ultima parte se estudió el efecto del contenido de LiBH_4 en las propiedades de almacenamiento del sistema Li-Mg-B-N-H, debido a que se realizaron cálculos de capacidad teórica que indican que se podría alcanzar una mayor capacidad de almacenamiento de hidrógeno en el sistema 2:1:0,1. Para ello se sintetizó este nuevo material, se lo caracterizó y se estudió su interacción con hidrógeno. Disminuir la cantidad de LiBH_4 genero que la formación del conductor iónico fuera menor, lo que afecta la cinética de reacción. Sin embargo, no se ve afectada la capacidad de almacenamiento del sistema ni las propiedades termodinámicas de las reacciones involucradas. Estos resultados permiten confirmar que la formación de Li_4(NH_2)_3BH_4 mejora el comportamiento cinético del sistema.

Resumen en inglés

This Master’s Thesis in Engineering was focused on the study of composite materials for hydrogen storage. Specifically, the Li-Mg-B-N-H system was investigated, based on magnesium amide (Mg(NH_2)_2), lithium hydride (LiH) and an ionic conductor, Li_4(NH_2)_3BH_4. In the first part, the effect of the stoichiometry of the starting materials was analyzed. The materials were synthesized using the reagents LiNH_2 : MgH_2 : LiBH_4 in the molar ratios 2.6:1:0.2; 2:1:0.2 and 2:1.5:0.2 and their effect on hydrogen storage properties was studied. It was not possible to reach complete conversion in the synthesis reactions working with the stoichiometric amounts of reagents and an excess of LiNH_2 was observed. The 2:1:0.2 system showed the highest hydrogen storage capacity (4,2 wt%), highest cycling stability, and fastest hydrogen desorption kinetics. In addition, a beneficial effect on the cycling stability of the 2.6:1:0.2 and 2:1:0.2 systems was verified by applying extended annealing following ball milling. In the second part, the investigation was focused on the effect of temperature on the interaction with hydrogen and the microstructural characterization of the 2:1:0.2 system, since this material presented the best storage properties. Kinetic studies were carried out, where the effect of temperature (range: 140-220 ºC) on the rate of reaction with hydrogen was analyzed and the activation energy of the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions were determined. The microstructural studies exhibited the formation of various structures and regions with laminar morphology, which could be associated with the good kinetic properties of the system. In the last part, the effect of the LiBH_4 content on the storage properties of the Li-Mg-B-N-H system was studied, since theoretical capacity calculations indicated that a greater hydrogen storage capacity could be achieved in the 2:1:0.1 system. This new material was synthesized, characterized and its interaction with hydrogen was studied. Decreasing the amount of LiBH_4 reduced the formation of the ionic conductor, which affected the kinetics of the system. However, neither the storage capacity of the system nor the thermodynamic properties of the reactions were modified. These results confirm that the formation of Li_4(NH_2)_3BH_4 improves the kinetic behavior of the system.
