    Abstract

    This study investigated the first hydrogenation behavior of TiFe-based hydrogen storage alloy with the laves phase. A TiFe0.9Cr0.1 alloy was prepared through vacuum arc melting, and it had a dual-phase microstructure with B2 and laves phases. The first hydrogenation kinetics was measured by applying a hydrogen pressure of 40 bar at 30 °C, where the alloy absorbed hydrogen without thermal activation. The first hydrogenation kinetics was divided into three sections to understand the first hydrogenation behavior, and each section was analyzed using a solid–gas reaction model. The model's goodness of fit was evaluated by fitting each section. In the early hydrogen absorption stage, a surface-controlled mechanism (Chemisorption model) was analyzed to be the most dominant. In the second stage, where hydrogen was quickly absorbed, an interface-controlled mechanism (CV3D model) was most suitable. In the last hydrogen absorption stage, where hydrogen absorption was saturated, a diffusion-controlled mechanism (GB3D model) was most suitable.
