The invention provides a high-capacity
hydrogen storage
alloy and a preparation method thereof. According to the method, the
ferrovanadium alloy serves as a base body,
rare earth is adopted for refining the
ferrovanadium alloy,
metal elements are doped, and the heat treatment process is further optimized. The
hydrogen storage
alloy comprises the following elements: TiaCrb (FeV + zwt.% RE) xMy, FeV represents a
vanadium-iron
alloy; rE represents a
rare earth element, and z represents a
doping amount; m comprises at least one element of Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zr, Zn, Al and Mo; a, b, x and y respectively represent the number of atoms of Ti, Cr, FeV and M, a + b + x + y = 100, 10 < = a < = 60, 0 < = b < = 70, 10 < = x < = 70, 0 < = y < = 10, and 0 < = z < = 10. The maximum
hydrogen absorption amount of the prepared
hydrogen storage alloy is 3.3 wt% or above at the temperature of 25 DEG C and the pressure of 9 MPa; the effective
hydrogen absorption amount is more than 2wt%.
