The ZK60 alloy was severely deformed via differential speed rolling with differential speeds of 6:3 and 9:3. High energy ball milling was used to blend deformed ZK60 powder with 5 wt% activated carbon(C), 0.5 wt% silver (Ag), 0.5 wt%palladium (Pd), and 1 wt% zirconium (Zr) for 20h at 1725 rpm. Hydrogen absorption characteristics at different low temperatures and number of cycles were analyzed using Sievert's apparatus with hydrogen supplied with H2S impurities. The microstructure of the powder was analyzed field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The hydrogen absorption capacity increases with the temperature rise, and maximum capacity(6.02 wt%) was observed in 5C1Zr deformed at 9:3DSR at 200 °C after five cycles. Hydrogen absorption capacity increases after each hydrogenation cycle in 5C0.5Ag and 5C1Zr but remains the same in 5C0.5Pd. The increase in H2S concentration decreases the hydrogen capacity, and increase in the number of cycles further deteriorates absorption capacity when the differential speed ratio is 6:3. The H2S concentration variation has almost no effect at the differential speed of 9:3. The maximum hydrogen absorption kinetics (74.7%) in 10min was observed in 5C1Zr. A more refined dendritic microstructure was observed in ZK60 alloy deformed with a differential speed ratio of 9:3.falseBall millingH2S impurityHydrogen absorption capacityHydrogen storage materialsLow-temperature hydrogen absorptionZK60-Zirconiumjournal article10.1016/j.renene.2024.1203792-s2.0-85189752802
