摘 要:A commercial AB5 hydrogen storage alloy was used as an additive to improve the electrochemical properties of Ml-Mg-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys. The effect of AB5 alloy addition on the phase structure, charge/discharge characteristics, and electrochemical kinetics of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 alloy was investigated. The maximum discharge capacity of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 + 4 wt.% AB5 electrode reaches 406 mAh/g. The anodic polarization, cyclic voltammetry, and potential step discharge experiments show that the elec-trochemical kinetics of the electrode with additives was promoted, with the LaNi5 phase of AB5 alloy acting as electro-catalytic sites in the electrode alloy. The high-rate dischargeability of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 + 4 wt.% AB5 alloy electrode at 1100 mA/g reaches 60.9%, which is 9.4% higher than that of Ml0.90Mg0.10Ni3.08Mn0.13Co0.63Al0.14 alloy electrode. The cycling stability of the electrode with 4 wt.% AB5 alloy has also been improved.
