X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy, preferentially as in-situ techniques, are valuable tools for
the characterisation of the chemical state and structure of doped metal- and complex-hydrides and their intermediate products upon absorption
and desorption. Examples for ex- and in-situ characterisation of the evolution with temperature and pressure of doped-NaAlH4 [1] and reactive
hydride composites [2] (e.g. LiBH4 + MgCl2) are discussed. XPS surface analyses indicated the complete decomposition of the catalyst in the
case of TiCl3 doped NaAlH4 samples, whereas samples doped with ScCl3 and CeCl3 still showed traces of the chloride phases. Raman results
demonstrated the formation of the Mg(BH4)2 phase after high-pressure ball milling (HP-BM) of a LiBH4 + MgCl2 mixture for 12 h. Finally,
in-situ XRD was used to monitor the transition from tetrahydride (NaAlH4) into the hexahydride (Na3AlH6) phase during desorption of
sodium alanate.
