Designing appropriate heat treatment temperature for LaNi3.8Al0.75Mn0.45 alloy

The effect of heat treatment on microstructure, equilibrium hydrogen sorption pressure and plateau slope of LaNi3.8Al0.75Mn0.45 alloy was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that annealed alloys have single phase and the same hexagonal structure as that of LaNi5 alloy (CaCu5 type, P6/mmm ). The cell parameters of alloys fluctuate with the increasing annealing temperature. The equilibrium hydrogen pressure and plateau slope are a parabola function with annealing temperature for LaNi3.8Al0.75Mn0.45 alloy. By this relationship, an appropriate heat treatment temperature for LaNi3.8Al0.75Mn0.45 alloy is determined to about 1220-1230 K by mathematic simulation process. However, the maximum hydrogen storage capacity of alloys does not affected by the annealing temperature.

The influence of annealing temperature on the electrochemical properties and structure of the rapidly quenched LPC(NiAIMn)4.25 Co0.75 hydrogen storage alloys was investigated, in which LPC represents the abbreviation of Nd-free La-Ce-Pr mischmetal after the extraction of most of Ce and Nd.
