Mg forms a dihydride with a high gravimetric hydrogen content of 7.6 wt% upon hydrogen absorption. This hydride is very stable and blocks hydrogen diffusion („Blocking effect“) [1,2]. This hinders the practical use of pure Mg for mobile applications, at low tempertures.
In this work, the impact of the driving force on the hydride formation kinetics in Mg films (200-2800 nm) is studied at room temperature, applying time-resolved in-situ XRD at different constant hydrogen gas pressures [3]. The evolution of inner stress is also monitored.
The hydrogen loading kinetics is found to strongly depend on the chemical potential. A heterogeneous hydride nucleation and growth model is suggested and evaluated by finite-element-calculatuion. The model allows qualitatively explaining the complex stress development, the different diffusion regimes and the blocking-layer thickness.
