Here, we report markedly enhanced hydrogen storage properties by incorporating Co@C and Ni@C catalysts into 2LiH + MgB\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    system via an interface\u2010driven catalytic mechanism. Kinetic measurements exhibit significantly accelerated hydrogenation\/dehydrogenation processes, accompanied by lower apparent activation energies. Temperature\u2010dependent investigations and synchrotron radiation powder x\u2010ray diffraction studies demonstrate a two\u2010step dehydrogenation process, in which the catalytic effect is mainly associated with LiBH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    decomposition. Multiscale structural characterization shows that the catalysts refine the hydride matrix and provide stable nanoscale interfaces that are maintained during cycling. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the strong interfacial interactions between transition metal sites and LiBH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    lead to charge transfer and distortion of BH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    units. The catalyst\u2013hydride interfaces increase active site density, facilitate mass transport, and induce electronic interactions that weaken the B\u2500H bonds and lower the dehydrogenation energy barrier. These findings demonstrate that the improved hydrogen storage properties predominantly result from interface\u2010driven processes rather than uniform bulk activation. This work provides a mechanistic framework for catalyst design through interfacial engineering, offering a general strategy for optimizing reactive hydride composites for energy storage applications.\n
