Abstract

The invention relates to high-capacity long-service-life AB<4.5> type hydrogen storage alloy and a preparation method thereof. By adjusting and controlling the stoichiometric ratio and the Mg contentof AB<5> type hydrogen storage alloy, the effect that Mg accurately replaces Ni atoms in the alloy is achieved. Through a density functional theory method, that is, the DFT method, the rationality ofalloy design is verified. According to the high-capacity long-service-life AB4.5 type hydrogen storage alloy and the preparation method thereof, under guidance of the density functional theory, the high-capacity long-service-life AB4.5 type hydrogen storage alloy is designed and prepared, the capacity of the prepared alloy reaches 326.7 mAh g<-1>, and the cycle life is 928 frequencies and is almost two times that of traditional commercial hydrogen storage alloy; the cost reduction purpose is achieved by prolonging the cyclic life of the hydrogen storage alloy, meanwhile, the capacity of the alloy is improved, and the effect that the alloy is applied to nickel-metal hydride batteries is hopefully achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-performance hydrogen storage alloys. Background technique [0002] Due to the continuous development of new energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, etc., the development of high-performance hydrogen storage alloys can continuously improve the market competitiveness of nickel-metal hydride batteries, especially the discharge capacity and cycle life of alloys need to be improved. According to our recent research results, the main factor affecting the cycle life of hydrogen storage alloys is the electronegativity of elements. For example, replacing La in hydrogen storage alloys with high electronegativity Y can significantly improve the cycle life of the alloys. However, high capacity and long cycle life cannot be achieved at the same time, because the higher the electronegativity, the harder it is for metals to lose electrons to form stable metal hydrides, thus exhibitin...
