Problems solved by technology

AB in the past 3 Type and A 2 B 7 There are many studies on the substitution of Sm on the A side in the research of A-type alloys, but from the reviewed literature, only Pan Hongge has tried 5 A very small amount of Sm is added to the alloy, that is, only 0.1at%, but no effect on AB 5 Any special properties of the alloy, that is to say, a small amount of addition to AB 5 Alloys do not improve
[0005] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: AB 5 In the alloy, the addition of low-Co elements will lead to a decrease in the life of the Ni-MH battery, and the control of the element ratio is difficult to adjust the equilibrium pressure, which makes it difficult to meet the charge-discharge kinetic performance of the electrode material.
In addition, the role of Sm in the previous literature is unknown, and it has not been reported by fixing the metal La:Ce ratio; the previous AB 5 In type alloys, since there is no large amount of Sm added, the heat treatment temperature is lower than 1000 °C, it is difficult to achieve AB 5 The composition of the type alloy is evenly distributed, and even affects its cycle life

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydrogen storage alloy, an electrode for a Ni-MH battery, a secondary battery and a method for preparing the hydrogen storage alloy. The chemical composition of the hydrogenstorage alloy is represented by the general formula La(3.0-3.2)x CexZrySm (1- (4.0~4.2)x-y)NizCouMnvAlw, wherein x, y, z, u, v, w are molar ratios; 0.14 <= x <= 0.17; 0.02 <= y <= 0 .03; 4.60 <= z +u + v + w <= 5.33; 0.10 <= u <= 0.20; 0.25 <= v <= 0.30; and 0.30 <= w <= 0.40. The overcharge performance of the electrode material is satisfied by fixing a ratio of lanthanum (La) to cerium (Ce) to3.0 - 3.2. A large number of samarium (Sm) elements on a side A are replaced, namely, the ratio of Sm atoms accounts for 25.6 to 42% of the side A to overcome a decrease in service life caused by lowcobalt (Co). The equilibrium pressure is adjusted by changing the ratios of Sm and La to Ce in order to satisfy the charge and discharge dynamics performance of the electrode material. The nucleationrate of a solidification process is increased by adding zirconium (Zr) having an atomic ratio of 2 to 3% relative to the elements at the side A to the elements at the side A. The Ni-MH battery anode material obtained by using the hydrogen storage alloy has high overcharge resistance, high rate discharge performance and good cycle stability.
