Abstract:

The Ti1.4V0.6Ni and V5Ti9Zr26.2Ni38Cr3.5Co1.5Mn15.6Al0.4Sn0.8 alloys were prepared via an arc-melting method followed by the melt-spinning technique. We systematically investigated the structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage performances of Ti1.4V0.6Ni+20%(mass fraction) ball-milled VTZN composite materials. It was found that the icosahedral quasicrystal, FCC(Ti2Ni) and BCC structural solid solution coexisted in the resultant composite material. When using such composite materials as Ni-MH battery anodes, the discharge current densities were about 30 mA/g at 303 K, the maximal electrochemical discharge capacity reaches 310 mA·h/g. In addition, the electrode of Ti1.4V0.6Ni and VTZN composite showed high-rate discharge ability compared with that of Ti1.4V0.6Ni.
