Abstract
The structure and electrochemical properties of La0.8–xCexPr0.1Nd0.1B5 (B5 ≡ Ni3.8Co1.1Mn0.1; x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) hydrogen storage alloys have been investigated. The results show that all alloys consist of CaCu5-type single phase. The maximum discharge capacity of the alloy electrodes decreases from 368.7 mA h g–1 (x = 0) to 294.9 mA h g–1 (x = 0.30), the cyclic stability (S100) increases from 37.6% (x = 0) to 69.8% (x = 0.20) after 100 charge/discharge cycles, and the HRD1200 first increases from 69.5% (x = 0) to 85.2% (x = 0.20), then decreases to 80.8% (x = 0.30). Meanwhile, the electrochemical kinetic characteristics of the La0.8‒xCexPr0.1Nd0.1B5 alloy electrodes are also improved by increasing Ce content.
