energy ball milling under both argon and hydrogen atmospheres. The hydrogen storage
behavior of the samples was evaluated by combination of thermal analyses and in-situ
synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. It is shown that this alloy forms a body-centered cubic
(BCC) structure when milled under argon pressure. The BCC phase is capable to absorb up
to 1.2% wt. of hydrogen and during absorption it undergoes a phase transition forming a …
