Description

The method of improving corrosion resistance of hydrogen storage alloy by surface boronising method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the hydrogen storage alloy method of modifying, more particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of method of improving the corrosion resistance nature of hydrogen storage alloy in basic soln through surface boronizing.
Background technology
Hydrogen Energy is the secondhand energy of human future ideality.Hydrogen storage alloy forms metal hydride with the stores of atomic state with hydrogen in the atom gap of hydrogen storage alloy.Hydrogen storage alloy can be as the negative material of nickel metal hydride battery or metal hydride air battery.Nickel metal hydride battery adopts Ni oxyhydroxide as positive pole, and hydrogen storage metal is as negative pole, and alkali lye (being mainly KOH) is as electrolytic solution, and metal hydride air battery adopts air electrode as positive pole, and hydrogen storage metal is as negative pole, alkali lye or NH 4Cl is as electrolytic solution.Hydrogen storage material is often with general formula AB xExpression, A be REE or lucium, calcium, titanium, zirconium, magnesium, vanadium etc. easily and the element of hydrogen evolution hydrogenate; B then is nickel, cobalt, manganese, and (perhaps) also has aluminium.With respect to (the AB of rare earth metal system 5Type), (AB of titanium system (AB type) and zirconium system 2Advantages such as hydrogen storage alloy type), Mg base hydrogen bearing alloy have that proportion is little, hydrogen storage capability is high, cheap, aboundresources.
The main method of improving the hydrogen storage alloy charge-discharge performance at present has the alloying element of interpolation, controls size, carries out anneal, processes matrix material, carries out the surface coating, controls the electric charge input, uses inhibiter and improve preparation technology etc.Wherein, Mg base hydrogen bearing alloy is a kind of very promising alloy material storing hydrogen, but very easily corrosion in alkaline electrolyte, charge-discharge performance is relatively poor, thereby has limited its application aspect electrochemistry.Therefore, adopt different methods its charge and discharge circulation life to be improved a research focus that becomes in recent years.As utilize solid phase diffusion method to prepare the alternative magnesiumalloy Mg of aluminum portions 2- xAl xNi is along with the increase discharge stability of aluminium content be improved [J.Alloys Compd, 307 (2000) 240-244].Think that mechanism is owing to add aluminium, can form fine and close protective membrane, strengthened the solidity to corrosion of alloy at alloy surface.Method with mechanical alloying obtains Mg 1.95Y 0.05Ni 0.92Al 0.08, need not its capacity of activation and promptly reach 470mAh g -1, and charge and discharge cycles stability is fine, and 150 times circulation back capability retention still reaches 98%.The Magnuminium that adds at Pr, Ce imposes melt-spun, and setting rate reaches 105~106K s -1, can make the excellent Pr of cyclical stability 5Co 19Type or Ce 5Co 19The high temperature of type structure part mutually keeps, itself and Ce 2Ni 7Type or Gd 2Co 7Type acts synergistically mutually and makes rare earth and magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy have heavy body and long lifetime [CN101624660] simultaneously.
Boronising is a kind of process for treating surface of development after traditional carburizing, nitriding are handled, and only is used for the surface treatment of iron and steel usually.Surface hardness, wear resistance, erosion resistance and the red hardness that can significantly improve steel-iron components usually handled in boronising.But traditional boronising all has its shortcoming.Like Gaseous State Boronization the danger of blast is arranged, its gas is also toxic.Liquid boriding then also need carry out certain surface treatment to the part after the boronising, could be practical.Pack boriding is compared with other boriding process has many advantages.Powder boriding technology particularly, it has does not need specific installation, adopt common electrical, gas, coal process furnace all can, technological operation is simple, osmosis work-piece need not clean, the penetration enhancer reusability is good, cost is lower and alloying layer thickness and organize advantages such as easy to control.
The boron supplying agent that pack boriding generally adopts has two kinds, and a kind of is norbide, and a kind of is ferro-boron.Be generally in the existing technology and restore the boron atom, in penetration enhancer, all add potassium fluoborate as acvator, its chemical reaction is following:
(1) reaction of norbide, potassium fluoborate penetration enhancer:
2KBF 4+B 4C+O 2→K 2O+4BF 2↑+2[B]+CO↑
BF wherein 2Be unstable gas, parse the boron atom and form stable BF through branch 3Gas:
3BF 2=[B]+2BF 3
(2) reaction of ferro-boron, potassium fluoborate penetration enhancer:
4KBF 4+4B+O 2→2K 2O+8BF 2
BF wherein 2Branch takes place parse boron atom generation BF 3Gas.
BF 3Be toxic gas, stronger corrodibility is arranged, environment is worked the mischief.Handle if adopt existing technology that hydrogen storage material is carried out boronising, not only can bring environmental problem, the BF that is produced 3The plain Mg of hydrogen storage element in gas meeting and the hydrogen storage material, La etc. form MgF 2, LaF 3Deng compound, cause the remarkable decline of hydrogen storage material hydrogen storage ability.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem that the present invention will solve is to overcome deficiency of the prior art, and a kind of method of improving corrosion resistance of hydrogen storage alloy by surface boronising method is provided.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the invention provides a kind of method of improving corrosion resistance of hydrogen storage alloy by surface boronising method, adopt the surface boronizing method that the hydrogen storage alloy surface is handled, in its upper layer, form the compound that nitrogen and hydrogen storage alloy constitute element.
Among the present invention, this method comprises: the selection granularity is that any section in 50~100 purpose Peng Qinghuanas, POTASSIUM BOROHYDRIDE 97MIN, anhydrous metaboric acid, anhydrous sodium metaborate, the anhydrous potassium metaborate is a boron supplying agent; When using anhydrous metaboric acid, anhydrous sodium metaborate, anhydrous potassium metaborate as boron supplying agent, need with Peng Qinghuana or POTASSIUM BOROHYDRIDE 97MIN as acvator, Peng Qinghuana or POTASSIUM BOROHYDRIDE 97MIN need not acvator during as boron supplying agent; After hydrogen storage alloy is crushed to 200 orders~400 orders, by hydrogen storage alloy: boron supplying agent: the mass ratio of acvator 1: 0.01~0.2: 0~0.6 mixes and is placed in the gas shield stove; Under argon shield, 1~10 ℃/min of control heat-up rate, 500~800 ℃ of calcining temperatures, calcination time 1~12h carry out surface boronizing and handle, and cooling gets final product.
Relevant reaction mechanism is:
(1) when adopting Peng Qinghuana or POTASSIUM BOROHYDRIDE 97MIN as boron supplying agent, its chemical reaction is following:
2Na(K)BH 4→2Na(K)H+2[B]+3H 2
The hydrogen that produces will be absorbed by hydrogen storage material.
(2) be boron supplying agent when adopting anhydrous metaboric acid, anhydrous sodium metaborate, anhydrous potassium metaborate, when Peng Qinghuana or POTASSIUM BOROHYDRIDE 97MIN were made acvator, its chemical reaction was following:
2Na(K)BH 4+2HBO 2→2Na(K)H+4[B]+4H 2O↑
2Na(K)BH 4+Na(K)BO 2→3Na(K)H+3[B]+2H 2O↑+ 1/ 2H 2
The hydrogen that produces will be absorbed by hydrogen storage material.
Among the present invention; Though since its oxidation capacity of boronising water byproduct steam very a little less than; But at high temperature also can form thin oxide layer on the hydrogen storage material surface; Therefore after surface boronizing is handled, also comprise and carry out hot alkali treatment or pickling is removed zone of oxidation with activation hydrogen storage alloy surface as subsequent disposal.
Among the present invention, said hot alkali treatment is: the hydrogen storage alloy that will pass through the surface boronizing processing is 2~6M L in concentration -1KOH or NaOH solution in flood 0.5~5h, 50~90 ℃ of dipping temperatures filter and take out hydrogen storage alloy; After the deionized water wash filtration, 70~90 ℃ of following vacuum-drying 6~12h.
