The invention relates to the technical field of novel
hydrogen storage alloys, and discloses a high-performance A1 + mB2-m type
titanium-
manganese-based
hydrogen storage
alloy and a preparation method thereof, the chemical general formula of the
hydrogen storage
alloy is Ti < 1 + a-x > Zr Mn < c > Cr < 2-a-b-c > Fe < x >, a < lt >; 0.2 part; 0 lt; blt; 0.1 part; 1.0 lt; clt; ct; 1.7, 1.7; 0 < = xlt; and 0.2 part. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out vacuum high-temperature short-time heat treatment on as-cast
alloy, and naturally cooling along with a furnace. The invention designs a vacuum high-temperature short-time heat treatment process, so that the A1 + mB2-m type
titanium-
manganese-based alloy is converted into a single
Laves phase from an as-cast multiphase structure, and the platform characteristics are remarkably improved. Compared with an as-cast alloy, the platform slope of the annealed alloy can be reduced to 0.33, and the
hysteresis coefficient is only 0.06. In addition, by partially replacing A-side Ti with a B-side element Fe and combining a specific vacuum high-temperature short-time heat treatment process, the alloy keeps a single
Laves phase structure, and the reversible
hydrogen storage capacity and the
hydrogen desorption rate are remarkably improved. The problems that an existing
titanium-
manganese-based
hydrogen storage alloy is poor in platform characteristic, low in reversible capacity, complex in process and the like are solved, and the titanium-manganese-based
hydrogen storage alloy has the large-scale application potential.
