Abstract

Abstract The formation enthalpy of LaNi5 type hydrogen storage alloys has been calculated using a semi-empirical formula that takes into account the electronegativities, the atomic size, and the electron concentration of each constituent element in the alloys. Through our calculations, it was found that the formation enthalpy of the alloys is directly related to the discharge capacities of the alloys. When the absolute value of formation enthalpy decreases, the discharge capacity increases. The result provides a valuable reference for alloy design.
