Two-dimensional ZrCo nanosheets as highly effective catalyst for hydrogen storage in MgH2

Magnesium, a cheap and abundant metal, holds tremendous promise for on-board hydrogen storage over the past several decades. However, the practical application of MgH2 is still hampered by various challenges, including a high efficient catalyst. Zirconium and Zr-based alloys show great potential to serve as hydrogen transfer center due to their high activity in hydrogen dissociation and diffusion. In this paper, ZrCo nanosheets were successfully...
