Mg2Ni is in favor of high hydrogen storage capacity and low weight, but it is difficult to be activated. In order to improve the capacity and cycle performances of hydrogen-storage alloy electrodes, Mm0.3Ml0.7Ni3.55Co0.75Mn0.4-Al0.3-x%Mg2Ni(x=0, 5, 10, 30) composite hydrogen storage alloys prepared by two-step re-melting were investigated in this work. The influences of Mg2Ni content on the cycle stabilities were analyzed by electrochemical methods. It was observed by XRD that the main phase of all the alloys is LaNi5 and the crystal lattice parameters of LaNi5 are changed with the increasing of x value, i.e, a-axis and unit cell volume decrease and c-axis decreases nonlinearly. The c-axis of alloy with x=5 is larger than the others. With the increasing of x value, capacity retentions of the composite hydrogen storage alloys rise from 66.21% while x=0 to 82.04% while x=10, but the capacity retention of the composite alloy with 30% Mg2Ni declines because of its decreasing axial ratio. More over, the composite alloy with 5% Mg2Ni shows the best cycle stability and higher discharge capacity, and it is an appropriate candidate for battery materials.展开更多

The effects of particle size on electrochemical properties of the alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the alloy with particle size of 100 and 150 mesh shows good activation behavior and high discharge capacity (the first discharge capacity and the maximum discharge capacity), but poor cycling stability, low capacity retention and high discharge capacity rate. The Ml_ 0.7Mm_ 0.3(Ni_ 3.55Co_ 0.75Mn_ 0.4Al_ 0.3) alloy with particle size of 150 mesh shows excellent electrochemical properties.展开更多
