The crystal structure, the phase composition and the electrochemical characteristics of Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni1.1Mn0.7V0.2)x (x=0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.05) alloys were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, EDS and electrochemical mea...The crystal structure, the phase composition and the electrochemical characteristics of Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni1.1Mn0.7V0.2)x (x=0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.05) alloys were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, EDS and electrochemical measurements. It was shown that all alloys are multiphase with C15 Laves phase as a main phase along with C14 phase and some secondary phases. And the amounts of the C14 phase and secondary phases in the four alloys increases with decreasing x. The results indicated that the various stoichiometric ratios have great effects on the electrochemical characteristics such as the maximum discharge capacity, discharge rate capability and self-discharge properties etc. for Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni1.1Mn0.7 V0.2)X (x=0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.05) alloys. The hyper-stoichiometric Zr0.9 Ti0.1(N1.1Mn0.7 V0.20)1.05 exhibits the maximum discharge capacity of 332mAh-g-1. The C14 phase and secondary phases seems to improve discharge rate capability of the alloys.展开更多

The results indicate that the degradation behavior of Ni/MH battery is not only owing to the lack of electrolyte, but also the deterioration of the active materials on the positive and negative electrodes of Ni/MH batteries. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM), X ray diffraction (XRD) and laser granularity analyses are presented. The particle pulverization and oxidation during charge/discharge are identified as the main causes for deterioration of the negative and positive electrode in nickel/metal hydride batteries, as well as the cross section cracking of both anode and cathode.展开更多
