This invention discloses a Y-Sm-Mg-Ni hydrogen storage alloy electrode material and its preparation method. The chemical formula of the electrode material is Y 1‑a‑b Sm a Mg b Ni x Al y Where a, b, x, and y are atomic ratios, with 0.05 ≤ a ≤ 0.15, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.2, 2.85 ≤ x ≤ 3.05, and 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.2. The preparation method involves using elemental metals, Y-Ni, and Mg-Ni master alloys as raw materials, and preparing the as-cast alloy using conventional induction melting. The as-cast alloy is then encased and sealed in a quartz tube under argon pressure of -0.09 to -0.05 MPa using tantalum sheets, and subsequently annealed in a muffle furnace. This invention significantly improves the cycle stability of Y-Mg-Ni alloys through Sm doping, and the preparation method reduces the preparation cost of Y-Sm-Mg-Ni alloys by using Y-Ni and Mg-Ni master alloys as raw materials.
