Abstract
This paper analyzes the alloy composition characteristics with large hydrogen storage capacities in Laves phase-related BCC solid solution alloy systems using the cluster line approach. Since a dense-packed icosahedral cluster A6B7 characterizes the local structure of AB2 Laves phases, in A-B-C ternary system, such as Ti-Cr(Mn, Fe)-V, where A-B forms AB2 Laves phases while A-C and B-C tend to form solid solutions, a cluster line A6B7-C is constructed by linking A6B7 to C. The alloy compositions with large hydrogen storage capacities are generally located near this line and are approximately expressed with the cluster-plus-glue-atom model. The cluster-line alloys (Ti6Cr7)100-xVx (x = 2.5-70 at.%) exhibit different structures and hence different hydrogen storage capacities with increasing V contents. The alloy (Ti6Cr7)95V5 as well as Ti30Cr40V30 with BCC solid solution structure satisfy the cluster-plus-glue-atom model.
