As a potential candidate for hydrogen storage, Li3N can absorb more than 9 wt % hydrogen. However, because of its incomplete dehydrogenation at a temperature of 280 degrees C, only about 5.5 wt % reversible hydrogen capacity could be reached. Although by increasing the temperature one can enhance dehydrogenation, this paper demonstrates that dehydrogenation of hydrogenated Li3N at the high temperature of 400 degrees C is followed by a very low (0.4 wt %) rehydrogenation capacity. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, and X-ray powder diffraction measurements have shown that both the sintering and the lattice structure change of Li2NH, which is a product of hydrogenation, might be responsible for such a major deactivation.
