Description

Hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material
The present invention relates to a kind of with the electrode of alloy synthetics as active material, particularly lanthanum rich rare earth hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material.
People utilize the electrochemical properties of hydrogen-storage alloy reversible hydrogen adsorption and desorption, the hydrogen-storage alloy hydride-nickel secondary battery of making, because specific energy height, non-environmental-pollution and noticeable, hydrogen-storage alloy as hydride-nickel-based battery negative electrode active material material should satisfy following basic demand: (1) has higher electrochemistry capacitance and suitable equilibrium hydrogen pressure (10 in battery operated temperature-20 ℃~60 ℃ scope -4~0.1MPa); (2) energy antioxidant anticorrosive in high alkali liquid has long cycle life; (3) easily-activated, the reversibility of electro catalytic activity and electrode reaction is good; (4) cheap.Its main type of hydrogen-storage alloy that has developed around these basic demands has: AB 5Type is as LaNi 5Be alloy and mishmetal-nickel system alloy; AB 2The titanium alloy of type and zirconium alloy; AB/A 2Type B titanium alloy etc.AB wherein 5Mishmetal-the nickel system hydrogen storage alloy of type because functional, cost is lower, becomes in small-sized sealing hydride-nickel-based battery suitability for industrialized production first-selected hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material.
Different according to La in the norium starting material with the Ce content ratio, form lanthanum rich mischmetal hydrogen-storage alloy and cerium-rich mischmetal hydrogen-storage alloy two big series.Studies show that, because ree content such as La, Ce, Pr, Nd and ratio have significant effects to the performance of hydrogen-storage alloy in the norium, therefore must be at norium starting material dissimilar, the different places of production, adopt different Alloying Treatment modes, just might develop the hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material that satisfies above-mentioned high performance requirements.About the cerium-rich mischmetal hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material, great deal of experimental has been carried out in PANASONIC, Sanyo, the subordinate's of Toshiba Battery Company and the test of Osaka industrial technology, all adopts alloying elements such as Co, Al, Mn partly to substitute MmNi 5In Ni, wherein representative hydrogen-storing alloy electrode material is:
