Abstract

The microstructure and electrochemical performance of Ti0.17Zr0.08V0.34Pd0.01Cr0.1Ni0.3 electrode alloy have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The alloy electrode has a higher discharge capacity than an AB5 type alloy within a wider temperature span. The increase of the charge-transfer-resistances, and the dissolutions of V and Zr were responsible for the performance degradation of the alloy electrode.
