Microstructure and electrochemical properties of Ti- containing AB2 type hydrogen storage electrode alloy

چکیده
The microstructure and electrochemical properties variation of alloy Zr(MnVNi)2 after Ti substitution for Zr was investigated. The microstructures of Zr1ÿxTix (MnVNi)2 (x = 0, 0.5) alloys were determined with X-ray diraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis. The systematic structural analysis shows that there are two phases in the Tisubstituted alloy Zr0.5Ti0.5(MnVNi)2, the C14 Laves and the Ti containing ``premartensite'' R phase, Ti0.8Zr0.2Ni. The variation in electrochemical properties of the alloy Zr(MnVNi)2 after partial Ti substitution can be attributed to the Ti substitution for some Zr sites in C14 Laves phase, the formation of Ti0.8Zr0.2Ni R-phase and the disappearance of Zr±Ni binaries. 7 2000 International Association for Hydrogen Energy.

متن کاملEffects of Nb and I’d on the electrochemical properties of a Ti-Ni hydrogen-storage electrode
The effects of Nb and Pd on the electrochemical properties of a Ti-Ni hydrogen-storage electrode are studied. The results show that adding Pd or Nd to the alloy can slow down the rate of decay of the exchange current during charge-discharge cycling and is also useful in increasing the discharge capacity and cycle life of Ti-Ni electrodes.

متن کاملStructure of the secondary phase and its effects on hydrogen-storage properties in a Ti Zr V Ni alloy
The phase structures and hydrogen storage properties of a Ti Zr V Ni alloy are studied. It is found that this alloy consists of a 0.7 0.2 0.1 matrix and a secondary phase. The matrix is a B2-type compound with bcc structure and the secondary phase is a C14-type Laves phase with hexagonal structure. This alloy electrode has a larger charge–discharge capacity than stoichiometric TiNi electrodes b...
