Reversible hydrogen storage in MgH2 under mild conditions is a promising way for the realization of “Hydrogen Economy”, in which the development of cheap and highly efficient catalysts is the major challenge. Herein, A two-dimensional layered Fe is prepared via a facile wet-chemical ball milling method and has been confirmed to greatlyenhance the hydrogen storage performance of MgH2. Minor addition of 5wt% Fe nanosheetsto MgH2decreases the onset desorption temperature to 182.1 °C and enables aquick release of 5.44 wt% H2 within 10 min at 300 °C. Besides,the dehydrogenated sample takes up 6 wt% H2 in 10 min under a hydrogen pressure of 3.2 MPa at 200 °C. With the doping of Fe nanosheets, the apparent activation energyof the dehydrogenation reactionfor MgH2is reduced to 40.7±1.0 kJmol-1. Further ab initio calculations reveal that the presence of Fe extends the Mg–H bond length and reduces its bond strength. We believe that this work would shed light on designing plain metal for catalysisin the area of hydrogen storage and other energy-related issues.
