Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The goal of this work is to shed light on the significant dehydrogenation behavior of MgH2-TiO2 composite exposed to microwave irradiation, and the changes in chemical state of titanium species that occur as a result. It is discovered that the reduced titanium oxide (TiO2-x) formed during ball milling can significantly absorb microwave radiation and act as "hot spots", such that dehydrogenation of MgH2 with 25 wt% TiO2 starts from 160 °C and reaches the peak at 225 °C, the onset dehydrogenation temperature is about 145 °C lower than that of the as-milled MgH2. The MgH2 with 25 wt% TiO2 sample is nearly completed dehydrogenated at a constant temperature of 220 °C in a microwave field. Upon full dehydrogenation, the microwave irradiated sample significantly absorbs 1.25 wt% H2 within 600 sec and 4.25 wt% H2 within 10 h at 25 ℃ under 1 bar of hydrogen. Characterization results of these samples show that microwave irradiation assists the uniform dispersal of defective TiO2-x species around Mg/MgH2 particles and further promotes the reduction of Ti4+ to lower valence states, for better electron transfer between Mg2+ and H-. HRTEM images as well reveal that part of Mg grain size falls around 10 nm, which is believed to significantly enhance the hydrogen sorption as observed. Our findings show that the synergistic effects of microwave irradiation and heat may advance MgH2 further to practical applications.
