Motivated by the understanding of dehyrogenation/rehydrogenation reaction mechanisms, we examine the effect of two commercial transition metal nitrides. TaN and TiN, oil the dehydrogenation performance of Li-Mg-N-H system. Both nitrides are catalytically active for accelerating the dehydrogenation reaction of this system. Such catalytic enhancement well persists without hydrogen capacity loss. A catalytic mechanism is proposed Willi reference to the catalytic, model for hydrotreating reactions by transition metal nitrides. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
