Mg–TM (TM: Ti, Nb, V, Co, Mo or Ni) core–shell like nanostructures: synthesis, hydrogen storage performance and catalytic mechanism

Abstract

Magnesium coated by different transition metals (TM: Ti, Nb, V, Co, Mo, or Ni) with a grain size in the nano-scale formed a core (Mg)–shell (TM) like structure which can catalyse dehydrogenation.
