Abstract

Abstract:

The effect of different ambient temperatures on the electrochemical properties of La₄MgNi_17.5Co_1.5 hydrogen storage alloy was investigated. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the alloy consists of LaNi₅-type phase and A₅B₁₉-type (Ce₅Co₁₉ + Pr₅Co₁₉) phase. With the increase of the ambient temperature, the maximum discharge capacity of the alloy electrodes increases from 353.33 (283 K) to 379.25 mAh/g (308 K), and the cyclic stability (S₁₀₀) of the electrodes decreases from 80.19 (283 K) to 52.04% (308 K) due to the acceleration of pulverization, corrosion and oxidation at higher ambient temperature. Moreover, it is found that the increase of the temperature can accelerate the diffusion rate of hydrogen in the alloy (D) and increase the exchange current density (I₀), which are beneficial for improving the activation performance and the high-rate dischargeability (HRD) of the alloy electrodes. The activation cycles of the electrodes decrease from 4 (283 K) to 1 (308 K), and the HRD₉₀₀ of the electrodes sharply increases from 66.36 (283 K) to 95.64% (308 K).

Key words: Hydrogen storage alloy, Ambient temperature, A5B19 type, Electrochemical property
