Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-capacity long-life rare earth and magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy, which comprises the following steps: (1) material pretreatment; (2) material preparation; (3) vacuum induction melting and two times of material feeding; (4) melt-spun quick quenching; (5) hot treatment; (6) air flow high-energy crushing; (7) rotation vibration screening; (8) blending; and (9) vacuum packaging. In the process, the melt-spun quick quenching has a higher setting rate which is 10<5> to 10<6>K / s and can retain a high temperature phase part which has excellent circulation stability and a structure of a Pr5Co19 type or Ce5Co19 type to ensure the high capacity and long life of the rare earth and magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy through the synergy of the high temperature phase part and a phase has a structure of a Ce2Ni7 type or Gd2Co7 type, the two times of material feeding are used for evenly adding Mg, and the 'sectional control' of molten alloy temperature is used to reduce the volatilization of the Mg as much as possible for accurately controlling the content of Mg and ensuring the desirable fluidity of the molten alloy during pouring. The process for preparing the rare earth and magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy of the invention has the advantages of controllable components, fine alloy crystalline grain and high product yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a high-capacity and long-life rare-earth magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy for the negative electrode of a nickel-hydrogen battery. technical background [0002] Hydrogen storage alloys are metal hydrogen storage materials, because they can absorb and release hydrogen safely and reversibly in a large amount (the hydrogen storage density is higher than liquid hydrogen) under appropriate temperature and pressure, and the hydrogen absorption and desorption process is accompanied by certain thermal effects , so it has attracted attention as an energy conversion material and energy storage material related to clean energy-hydrogen energy. As a new type of functional material, the application fields of hydrogen storage alloys are as follows: (1) storage of hydrogen energy and thermal energy; (2) separation, recovery and purification of hydrogen; (3) separation of hydrogen isotopes; (4) civil or mixed Neg...
