Embodiment 1

[0015] Weigh 3.0g Ml(NiCoMnAlCu) of 300~400 mesh 5.05 The hydrogen storage alloy powder is made into tablets on a tablet press with a pressure of 10 MPa, and the holding time is 10 minutes. The hydrogen storage alloy flakes are small discs with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 5 mm. The pressed hydrogen storage alloy sheet is placed in the cavity of a microwave oven, and several sheets of MoC are placed around it as an auxiliary heat material. During the microwave annealing process, under the protection of argon, the annealing temperature was 300°C, and the temperature was kept for 14 minutes. After annealing, it was cooled to room temperature with the furnace, and then the obtained hydrogen storage alloy was subjected to electrochemical experiments. The results showed that the activation times of the alloy were 15 times (As-cast state) is reduced to 2 times (after microwave heat treatment), the maximum discharge capacity is 291.1mAh / g, and the capacity decay rate after ...

Abstract

The invention provides a microwave annealing method for improving electrochemical properties of a hydrogen storage alloy Ml(NiCoMnAlCu)5.05, which belongs to the technical field of hydrogen storage materials. The technical process of the method is as follows: 300-400 meshes of hydrogen storage alloy Ml(NiCoMnAlCu)5.05 powder is pressed into an alloy sheet by a sheeter at the pressure of 10-20MPa, then the alloy sheet is put into a microwave oven and is surrounded by a plurality of pieces of auxiliary heating materials, is annealed at the temperature of 300-500 DEG C; and then is cooled to the room temperature with the oven under the protection of argon gas or under vacuum condition for 6-14 minutes. The microwave annealing method is characterized by low annealing temperature, short time, low energy consumption and greatly decreasing the product cost. The hydrogen storage alloy treated by the method has smaller particle size, and the comprehensive electrochemical properties of the alloy are improved, more particularly, the activation times are greatly reduced, and the charge and discharge cycle life is significantly prolonged.
