When magnesium is exposed to hydrogen gas, it reacts under certain conditions to form magnesium hydride (MgH2), a compound that can store hydrogen in a solid-state form. This conversion process is crucial because it allows for higher storage densities compared to gas cylinders or liquid hydrogen.
This review highlights the suitability of Mg and its alloys for constructing hydrogen storage and transportation tank bodies and emphasizes their desirable properties. Zn and Al are considered as optimal alloying elements due to their favorable solubility, free energy, and electronegativity.
Magnesium possesses the unique ability to store hydrogen due to its favorable thermodynamic properties, exceptional reaction with hydrogen, and structural versatility, which allows it to absorb hydrogen gas readily.
Magnesium (Mg) can store 7.6 mass% of hydrogen after formation of magnesium hydride (MgH 2), which has attractive features for hydrogen storage material such as low cost, abundant resource and light weight [1].

Upon hydrogen absorption, magnesium (Mg) spontaneously converts to the thermodynamically favoured β-MgH2 phase, but this leads to hydrogen release/uptake far from the desired low temperatures and fast kinetics.

Hydrogen Storage Performance of Magnesium-Based Alloys 6. Applications and Future Perspectives 7. Conclusions Magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys have attracted significant attention as promising materials for solid-state hydrogen storage due to their high hydrogen storage capacity, abundant reserves, low cost, and reversibility.
1. Introduction Magnesium (Mg) can store 7.6 mass% of hydrogen after formation of magnesium hydride (MgH 2), which has attractive features for hydrogen storage material such as low cost, abundant resource and light weight .
Pure magnesium has a theoretical hydrogen storage capacity of 7.6 wt.%, but its practical capacity is limited by the slow kinetics and high thermodynamic stability of MgH 2 . Alloying magnesium with other elements can alter the hydrogen storage capacity, depending on the type and amount of the alloying elements.
Mg-based alloys classification Though the hydrogen storage capacity of pure Mg is comparatively outstanding, the discontentedly high desorption hydrogen temperature and sluggish kinetics gravely block its practical applications [2, 7, , , , , ].
The Mg-based hydrogen storage materials were first investigated at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where Reilly and Wiswall prepared Mg 2 Ni in an induction furnace under argon and introduced the reaction of hydrogen with Mg–Ni alloys at elevated temperatures and pressures .
