Received: 18 March 2011; in revised form: 5 May 2011 / Accepted: 6 May 2011 / Published: 20 May 2011 Abstract: The destabilized complex hydride system composed of LiNH :MgH (1:1 molar 2 2 ratio) is one of the leading candidates of hydrogen storage with a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 8.1 wt%. A low sorption enthalpy of ~32 kJ/mole H was first predicted 2 by Alapati et al. utilizing first principle density function theory (DFT) calculations and has been subsequently confirmed empirically by Lu et al. through differential thermal analysis (DTA). This enthalpy suggests that favorable sorption kinetics should be obtainable at temperatures in the range of 160 °C to 200 °C. Preliminary experiments reported in th
