abstract = {A designed Mg88.7Ni6.3Y5 hydrogen storage alloy containing 14H type LPSO (long-period stacking ordered) and ternary eutectic structure was prepared by regulating the alloy composition and casting. The hydrogen storage performance of the alloy was improved by adding nano-flower-like TiO2@C catalyst. The decomposition of the LPSO structure during hydrogenation led to the formation of plenty of nanocrystals which provided abundant interphase boundaries and activation sites. The nanoscale TiO2@C catalyst was uniformly dispersed on the surface of alloy particles, and the "hydrogen overflow'' effect of TiO2@C accelerated the dissociation and diffusion of hydrogen on the surface of the alloy particles. As a result, the in-situ endogenous nanocrystals of the LPSO structure decomposition and the externally added flower-like TiO2@C catalyst uniformly dispersed on the surface of the nanoparticles played a synergistic catalytic role in improving the hydrogen storage performance of the Mg-based alloy. With the addition of the TiO2@C catalyst, the beginning hydrogen desorption temperature was reduced to 200 ℃. Furthermore, the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity of the sample was 5.32 wt.%, and it reached 4.25 wt.% H2 in 1 min at 200 ℃ and 30 bar.}
