Hydrogen generation by the hydrolysis reaction of ball-milled aluminium–lithium alloys

The addition of Li can prevent an inert alumina film from forming on the surface of Al alloy particles, allowing the rapid hydrogen generation of Al alloys to be achieved. However, because the Li content is less than 10%, the hydrogen generation rate and hydrogen yield of Al–Li alloys are significantly decreased. In this work, NaCl is introduced to prepare Al–Li alloys with low Li contents by ball milling. The research results show that by...
