Abstract

The invention relates to an alloy modification technology, aiming at providing a method for improving the corrosion resistance performance of a magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy by using an ion nitriding method. In the method, the ion nitriding treatment is carried out on the surface of the magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy by adopting the ion nitriding method, and a compound containing nitrogen and hydrogen storage alloy is formed in the surface layer of the magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy. The regional selectivity of the ion nitriding ensures that the nitriding treatment becomes targeted and the corrosion resistance performance of the magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy in an alkaline solution is greatly improved. In addition, the alloy is unnecessary to be carried out activation treatment after the nitriding treatment, simple in production process and environment-friendly and capable of being produced in batch. The magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy is low in cost compared with the traditional rare earth nickel hydrogen storage materials, is rich in resources and capable of greatly improving the capacity or the energy density of a battery while being applied to a nickel-metal hydride battery, greatly reducing the self-discharge while being applied to air battery and being made into a portable and mobile power supply for large-scale commercial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alloy modification technology, in particular to a method for improving the corrosion resistance of a magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy by ion nitriding. Background technique [0002] The hydrogen storage alloy stores hydrogen in the atomic state in the atomic space of the hydrogen storage alloy to form a metal hydride. Hydrogen storage alloys can be used as anode materials for nickel-hydrogen batteries or metal hydride-air batteries. The nickel-hydrogen battery uses nickel hydroxide as the positive electrode, hydrogen storage metal as the negative electrode, and lye (mainly KOH) as the electrolyte. Magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys have the advantages of small specific gravity, high hydrogen storage capacity, low price, and abundant resources. However, magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys are easily corroded in alkaline electrolytes and have poor charge-discharge cycle performance, which limits their applicati...
