Abstract

Under ultrasonic irradiation, the porous Tb3Fe5O12 (TFO) and Nickel Aluminum layer double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH) were synthesized by investigation the effect of sonication time. Synthesis of TFO was conducted in the presence of tetradentate Schiff-base ligand H2salophen, [N,N0 -bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine] as complexing agent to size controlling and further growth prevention of crystals. The resultant nanocomposites of TFO/NiAl-LDH used as novel active compounds for applying in hydrogen storage strategies. Comprehensively, the hydrogen capacitance after 15 cycles was displayed on the pure NiAl-LDH and TFO materials about 115 and 334 mAhg1 respectively. It demanded the maximum capacitance for Tb3Fe5O12/NiAl-LDH nanocomposites was 451 mAhg1 , which was higher than the initial NiAl-LDH structure. It was exposed from the spillover effect that; the endorsed electrochemical hydrogen storage (EHS) performance is ascribed to the reaction of the redox pair of Fe3þ/Fe2þ at the active sites throughout the EHS procedure. This work delivers a novel plan and potential sorption electrode materials to progress the intrinsic action of layered compounds.
