| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An atomization energy approach is investigated to treat the nature of the chemical bond between atoms in the rare earth metal compounds including oxides and borides. The atomization energy is the energy gain or loss of each constituent element by forming the compound. On the basis of the atomization energy concept, a new Mg-based Mg-Gd-Si alloy is designed for the hydrogen storage, in which Gd is a rare earth metal. The presence of Si in this alloy is effective in suppressing the formation of both MgH2 and GdH2 in the course of hydrogenation of the Mg-Gd-Si alloy. As a result, the dehydrogenation reaction could be activated, so that Si is an effective non-metal element in the Mg-based alloy for the hydrogen storage.
