It is found that the alloys mainly consist of（La, Mg）2Ni7phase, La Ni5 phase and（La, Mg）5Ni19phase.Refinement results further show that Nd substitution for La remarkably promotes the formation of La Ni5 phase, while Sm is beneficial for the formation of（La, Mg）5Ni19phase.At discharge current density of 1,875 m A g-1, the highrate dischargeability（HRD） of alloy electrodes increases by 13.9 % and 6.5 % with La substituted by Nd and Sm,respectively. The electrochemical kinetic measurements reveal that the exchange current density（I0）, charge transfer resistance（R） and hydrogen diffusion coefficient（D） for the alloy electrode are all facilitated with Nd and Sm partial substitution for La. Subsequently, a linear correlation between the HRD1875 and the corresponding I0/D is found.展开更多

Structural changes during gaseous and electrochemical cycles were characterized, and the influence of the structure distortion on the hydrogen storage properties was concerned. Hydrogen-induced amor- phization （HIA） and disproportionation of the three alloys have occurred during both the gaseous and electrochemical cycles. Structural stability of the phase structures in the La-Mg-Ni system is found to follow the order： LaNi5- 〉 （La,Mg）5Ni19 〉 （La,Mg）2Ni7 〉 （La,Mg）Ni3 〉 （La,Mg）Ni2. HIA increases thermal stability of the metal hydrides and difficulty to dehydrogenation and leads to degradation of both the gaseous and electrochemical capacities. Interestingly, LaEMgNi9 with poor stability presents elevated discharge capability even at 60 ℃ which can be attributed to increase in the hydrogen desorption capability and inhibition of the self-discharge induced by severe HIA at higher temperatures. In addition, HIA in the electrochemical reactions is obviously weaker than the extent during the gaseous cycles, which is mainly due to the slower hydrogenation speed. The development of HIA in the gaseous and electrochemical process is considered to follow the direct and gradual modes, respectively.展开更多
