Abstract
The microstructure and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of (La0.7Mg0.3)1−xCexNi2.8Co0.5 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) alloys have been investigated. The results show that all alloys consist of (La, Mg)Ni3 and LaNi5 phases. The cyclic stability (S100) of the alloy electrodes increases from 58.7% (x = 0) to 69.8% (x = 0.20) after 100 charge/discharge cycles. The high rate dischargeability (HRD) increases from 66.8% (x = 0) to 69.6% (x = 0.10), then decreases to 65.1% (x = 0.20) at the discharge current density of 1200 mA/g. Moreover, the electrochemical kinetic characteristics of the alloy electrodes are also improved by increasing Ce content.
