The invention relates to a
rare earth modified AB2 type
solid hydrogen storage
alloy and a batch preparation method thereof, belongs to the technical field of
hydrogen storage
alloy materials, and solves the problems of
high activation condition, long activation period, overhigh
hydrogen absorption platform pressure, high batch preparation
smelting difficulty, low yield, unstable product quality and the like of the traditional Ti-Mn series
hydrogen storage alloy in the prior art. The specific composition of the
hydrogen storage alloy is Ti < 1.1-x-y > Y < x > Zr < y > Mn < 2.0-y-z-m > Cr < z > Ni < m > Co < n >, x, y, z, m and n in the formula are atomic ratios, x is larger than or equal to 0.01 and smaller than or equal to 0.04, y is larger than or equal to 0.10 and smaller than or equal to 0.35, z is larger than or equal to 0.45 and smaller than or equal to 0.70, m is larger than or equal to 0.1 and smaller than or equal to 0.2, and n is larger than or equal to 0.05 and smaller than or equal to 0.15. The
hydrogen storage alloy has good activation performance and
hydrogen absorption and
desorption performance, the hydrogen storage capacity is larger than or equal to 1.86 wt.%, and the
hydrogen absorption and
desorption platform pressure can be adjusted according to application requirements; under the conditions that the temperature is 20 DEG C and the initial
hydrogen pressure is 3 MPa, activation can be completed through one-time
hydrogen absorption and
desorption circulation; after 200 times of hydrogen absorption and desorption cycles, the capacity
retention ratio of the alloy is gt; and 98%. The invention further provides a preparation method of the hydrogen storage alloy, the method has the advantages of being simple and easy to operate, high in yield, stable in product quality and the like, and the problem of component segregation of a
casting process is fundamentally solved.
