摘要
为了降低AB_5型储氢合金的成本,对低钴的Ml_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)Ni_(3.4)Co_(0.3)Al_(0.3)合金的组织结构和性能进行了研究,并与工业储氢合金MmNi_(3.55)Co_(0.75)Mn_(0.4)Al_(0.3)进行了对比。实验结果表明:此低钴合金是由LaNis主相和LaNi_3第二相构成。它们的储氢量(ω,%)分别为1.36%和1.37%,最大放电容量分别为320 mAh/g和324 mAh/g,循环稳定性为:300次充放电循环后,2种合金剩余容量都是88%。但Ml_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)Ni_(3.4)Co_(0.3)Al_(0.3)的高倍率放电性能明显优于MmaNi_(3.55)Co_(0.75)Mn_(o.4)Al_(0.3)合金。主要原因是由于LaNi_3第二相的生成不仅提高了合金颗粒表面的电化学催化活性,而且提高了结构韧性从而抵消了低钴合金颗粒粉化的不利影响。
For decreasing the cost of ABs-type hydrogen storage alloys, a low-cobalt Ml0.9Mg0.1Ni3.4Co0.3Al0.3 alloy was investigated by examining the alloy structure, phase composition and some properties. Its properties were compared with those of a commercial alloy MmNi3.55Co0.75Mn0.4Al0.3. The experiments' outcome shows that the low-cobalt alloy is composed of Mg-free LaNi5 phase as matrix and Mg-contained LaNi3 phase as secondary phase. The hydrogen storage capacity (1.36wt% and 1.37wt% respectively), the greatest discharge capacity (320 mAh/g and 324 mAh/g respectively) and cycling stability (the residual capacity of two alloys is all 88%) of Ml0.9Mg0.1Ni3.4Co0.3Al0.3 are as good as those of MmNi3.55Co0.7sMn0.4Al0.3. However, after the discharge current density exceeds 300 mA/g, the high-rate discharge abilities (HRD) of Ml0.9Mg0.1Ni3.4Co0.3Al0.3 are apparently better than those of MmNi3.55Co0.75Mn0.4Al0.3.It is because there exists Mg-contained LaNi3 phase as secondary phase which improves the electrochemical catalytic activity of alloy particles surface and the structure toughness of alloy particles.
