Abstract
Ternary Laves phase structures with compositions MgYNi4, MgCaNi4 and CaYNi4 were prepared, and the relationship between the structures and hydriding properties was studied in detail. Only in MgYNi4 are Mg and Y found to be ordered and a plateau pressure is clearly observed in the P-C isotherm during the dehydriding process. In MgCaNi4, however, Mg and Ca are disordered, and hydrogen content of MgCaNi4 is ~30% larger than that of MgYNi4. Control of their order/disorder in Laves phase structures may provide the hydriding properties with higher hydrogen concentrations and flatter plateau regions.
