Advances in Catalysts for Magnesium-Based Hydrogen Storage Materials.

ABSTRACT: MgH₂ (magnesium hydride) has attracted attention as a potential hydrogen storage material owing to its rich availability and high theoretical hydrogen capacity. Nevertheless, its practical utilization is restricted by its high thermodynamic stability and slow hydrogen sorption kinetics. Recent advancements have demonstrated that incorporating various catalytic systems-such as transition metals, metal oxides, metal halides, metal sulfides, and carbon-supported materials-effectively improves hydrogen dissociation, diffusion, and Mg-H bond modulation. Structural transformations, interfacial interactions, and synergistic effects in multicomponent systems substantially enhance MgH₂ performance. Furthermore, cutting-edge computational techniques such as DFT (density functio
