The interplay between kinetics and thermodynamics is used to extrapolate the hydrogenation equilibrium pressures via the H-absorption rate. Pressure–optical-transmission–isotherms determined independently at different temperatures provide a cross-check for the equilibrium pressure and the enthalpy of H-absorption. We find that the hydrogenation reaction is destabilized with respect to the Mg2Ni → Mg2NiH4 reaction for Mg fractions close to the Mg2Ni–Mg eutectic point. From a comparison with calculated enthalpies obtained from density functional theory, we conclude that the experimentally observed destabilization originates from the well-mixed microstructure around the eutectic point.
