摘 要:In this work,we synthesized LaFeO3–xwt%Ni(x=0,5,10,15)composites via a solid-state reaction method by adding Ni to the reactants,La2O3 and Fe2O3.Field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS)results revealed that Ni powders evenly dispersed among the LaFeO3 particles and apparently reduced their aggregation,which imparted the composites with a loose structure.Moreover,the Ni formed a conductive network,thus improving the conductivity of the composites.The maximum discharge capacity of the LaFeO3 electrodes remarkably increased from 266.8 mAh·g–1(x=0)to 339.7 mAh·g–1(x=10).In particular,the high-rate dischargeability of the LaFeO3–10wt%Ni electrode at a discharge current density of 1500 mA·g-1 reached 54.6%,which was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the pure LaFeO3.Such a Ni-modified loose structure not only increased the charge transfer rate on the surface of the LaFeO3 particles but also enhanced the hydrogen diffusion rate in the bulk LaFeO3.
