Effects of substituting Ni with M (M=Cu, Al and Mn) on microstructures and electrochemical characteristics of La-Mg-Ni system (PuNi3-type) electrode alloys

In order to improve the electrochemical cycle stability of La-Mg-Ni system (PuNi3-type) hydrogen storage alloy, Ni in the alloys was partially substituted by M (M=Cu, Al, Mn). A new La-Mg-Ni system electrode alloys La0.7Mg0.3Ni2.55-xCo0.45Mx (M=Cu, Al, Mn;x =0,0.1) were prepared by casting and rapid quenching. The effects of element substitution and rapid quenching on the microstructures and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated. The results by XRD, SEM and TEM show that the alloys havea multiphase structure, including the (La, Mg)Ni3 phase, the LaNi5 phase and the LaNi2 phase. The rapid quenching and element substitution have an imperceptible influence on the phase compositions of the alloys, but both change the phase abundance of the alloys. The rapid quenching significantly improves the composition homogeneity of the alloys and markedly decreases the grain size of the alloys. The Cu substitution promotes the formation of an amorphous phase in the as-quenched alloy, and a reversal result by the Al substitution. The electrochemical measurement indicates that the element substitution decreases the discharge capacity of the alloys, whereas it obviously improves the cycle stability of the alloys. The positive influence of element substitution on the cycle life of the alloys is in sequence Al＞Cu＞Mn, and negative influence on the discharge capacity is in sequence Al＞Mn＞Cu. The rapid quenching significantly enhances the cycle stability of the alloys, but it leads to a different extent decrease of thedischarge capacity of the alloys.     

Structures and properties of La-Mg-Ni system hydrogen storage alloys

The double-roller rapid quenching technology was successfully used to prepare La-Mg-Ni system hydrogen storage alloys. The effects of magnesium content and heat-treatment process on the alloys properties were studied. When the alloy with 1.09%（mass fraction） Mg is heat treated at 900℃ for 4 h, its discharge capacity is more than 380 mA.h/g at 0.2C, and the cyclic life is beyond 500 counts at 2C. By XRD and PCI analyzing, the results show that the alloys are composed of LaNis and LaNi3 phase. The hydrogen absorption/desorption pressure of the alloy increases, so does the slope of plateau, and the plateau becomes broad first and narrow again as Mg content increases. This method is simple to be suitable for production on a large scale.     

Effects of rapid quenching on structure and electrochemical characteristics of La0.5Ce0.2Mg0.3Co0.4Ni2.6-xMnx （x=0-0.4） electrode alloys

The La-Mg-Ni system PuNi3-type La0.5Ce0.2Mg0.3Co0.4Ni2.6-xMnx (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) hydrogen storage alloys were prepared by casting and rapid quenching. The effects of the rapid quenching on the structure and electrochemical characteristics of the alloys were studied. The results obtained by XRD, SEM and TEM indicate that the as-cast and quenched alloys mainly consist of two major phases, (La,Mg)Ni3 and LaNi5, as well as a residual phase LaNi. The rapid quenching does not exert an obvious influence on the phase composition of the alloys, but it leads to an increase of the LaNi5 phase and a decrease of the (La, Mg)Ni3 phase. The as-quenched alloys have a nano-crystalline structure, and the grain sizes of the alloys are in the range of 20-30 nm. The results by the electrochemical measurements indicate that both the discharge capacity and the high rate discharge(HRD) ability of the alloy first increase and then decrease with the variety of quenching rate and obtain the maximum values at the special quenching rate which is changeable with the variety of Mn content. The rapid quenching significantly improves the cycle stabilities of the alloys, but it slightly impairs the activation capabilities of the alloys.

Effects of rapid quenching on structure and cycle stability of La-Mg-Ni-Co type hydrogen storage alloy

In order to improve the cycle stability of La-Mg-Ni-Co type alloy electrode, rapid quenching technology was employed. The effects of rapid quenching on the microstructure and cycle stability of the alloy were investigated. The obtained results show that the La2Mg(Ni0.85Co0.15)9M0.1 (M=B, Cr) alloy electrodes are composed of (La, Mg)Ni3 phase, LaNi5 phase and a small amount of the LaNi2 phase. A trace of the Ni2B phase exists in the as-cast MB alloy, and the Ni2B phase in the alloy nearly disappears after rapid quenching. Rapid quenching technology can slightly improve the cycling life of the alloy. When the quenching rate increases from 0 m·s -1 (As-cast is defined as quenching rate of 0 m·s-1 ) to 30 m·s -1 , the cycle lives of the MB, M Cr alloys enhance from 86 and 87 cycles to 106 and 119 cycles, respectively. On the other hand, the average capacity decay rates of the MB, M Cr alloys decrease from 1.7172 and 1.7178 mAh·g-1·cycle-1 to 1.5751 and 1.3060 mAh·g-1·cycle-1 after 86 charge-discharges cycling, respectively.     

Influence of rapid quenching on hydrogen storage characteristics of nanocrystalline Mg2Ni-type alloys

Nanocrystalline Mg2Ni-type alloys with nominal compositions of Mg20Ni10–xCux(x=0,1,2,3,4,mass fraction,%) were synthesized by rapid quenching technique.The microstructures of the as-cast and quenched alloys were characterized by XRD,SEM and HRTEM.The electrochemical hydrogen storage performances were tested by an automatic galvanostatic system.The hydriding and dehydriding kinetics of the alloys were measured using an automatically controlled Sieverts apparatus.The results show that all the as-quenched alloys hold the typical nanocrystalline structure and the rapid quenching does not change the major phase Mg2Ni.The rapid quenching significantly improves the electrochemical hydrogen storage capacity of the alloys,whereas it slightly impairs the cycling stability of the alloys.Additionally,the hydrogen absorption and desorption capacities of the alloys significantly increase with rising quenching rate.
