Boosting Hydrogen Storage Performance of MgH2 by Oxygen Vacancy-Rich H-V2O5 Nanosheet as an Excited H-Pump

MgH2 is a promising high-capacity solid-state hydrogen storage material, while its application is greatly hindered by the high desorption temperature and sluggish kinetics. Herein, intertwined 2D oxygen vacancy-rich V2O5 nanosheets (H-V2O5) are specifically designed and used as catalysts to improve the hydrogen storage properties of MgH2. The as-prepared MgH2-H-V2O5 composites exhibit low desorption temperatures (Tonset = 185 °C) with a hydrogen capacity of 6.54 wt
