Description
The present invention relates to a kind of high power type nickel metal hydride battery negative pole hydrogen-storage alloy, this alloy has the performance that excellent high speed absorbs and emit hydrogen, when as nickel metal hydride battery negative pole, can obtain excellent initial activation performance and high rate capability, belong to the hydrogen-storage alloy field.
Since nineteen ninety adopt hydrogen-storage alloy as the nickel metal hydride battery of negative material at first since Japanese industrialization, nickel metal hydride battery is because of having high-energy-density (be nickel-cadmium cell 1.5～2 times), memory-less effect, no cadmium pollution is replacing nickel-cadmium cell rapidly.Present small-sized nickel metal hydride battery and cathode hydrogen storing alloy powder thereof be all industrialization on a large scale at home and abroad.
Special place application of nickel metal hydride batteries such as suitable high power are subjected to people's favor just day by day.Environmental pollution and energy crisis have promoted the research and development of various countries' electric motor cars.At present, international electric motor car developing direction turns to development hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) just gradually.HEV need adopt the high power energy that auxiliary power is provided when starting, quickening and climbing, and transforms its regenerated energy of absorption when car deceleration and brake fast.HEV with the main performance requirement of high-power battery is: high power density, high-specific-power, high-power energy ratio and high charge capacity etc.From environmental angle and performance and price characteristic, the high power type nickel metal hydride battery is one of best candidate of HEV battery, must research and develop as early as possible.In addition, the high power type nickel metal hydride battery also has huge development space on electric tool market.Though, abroad, released HEV and electric tool high power type nickel metal hydride battery, adopt that prior art produces hydrogen-storage alloy can not satisfy the instructions for use of (more than or equal to the 5C multiplying power) under the big current condition well.The key problem in technology of exploitation high power type nickel metal hydride battery is Hydrogen storage alloy materials for negative electrodes.
The electro catalytic activity and the diffusion velocity of hydrogen in the hydrogen-storage alloy body that depend on electrode surface in the nickel metal hydride battery on the rate charge-discharge characteristic dynamics of hydrogen-occlussion alloy electrode.Philips once reported in the laboratory, added a small amount of molybdenum and made the alloy of two-phase and can make AB
5The electrochemical kinetics performance of type hydrogen-storage alloy is obviously improved, and makes it be easy to activation, the second phase MoNi of formation
3Has forceful electric power chemical catalysis ability [J.Electrochem.Soc., 183 (1991) 1877].In addition, second-phase dispersion is distributed in and can be hydrogen atom in the body diffusion admittance is provided, and quickens the diffusion velocity of hydrogen in alloy body.Adopt methods such as element replacement or surface treatment also can improve the electrochemical kinetics performance of hydrogen-storage alloy, use at low discharging current (less than the 5C multiplying power) with nickel metal hydride but said method all is a limitation.The negative pole that is fit to high power type nickel metal hydride battery (discharging current is more than or equal to the 5C multiplying power) is used the hydrogen-storage alloy bibliographical information seldom.The domestic market demand amount is big, does not still have report but production at present is fit to the producer of the cathode hydrogen storing alloy powder of high power type nickel metal hydride battery.
Purpose of the present invention just is to provide a kind of superior cathode hydrogen storing alloy of high rate capability that is used for the high power type nickel metal hydride battery.Also promptly, the present invention relates to a kind of high power type nickel metal hydride battery negative pole hydrogen-storage alloy, this alloy has absorption (being equivalent to " charging ") fast and emits hydrogen (being equivalent to " discharge ") speed.
The objective of the invention is to add boron element, utilize boron in the alloy melting process, to be easy to cyrystal boundary segregation and to form second realize mutually by adopting when the hydrogen-storage alloy melting.Add the existing report of boron document in the hydrogen-storage alloy, but its adding purpose has nothing in common with each other, and addition is controlled also lowlyer (≤0.2).Adopt stoichiometric proportion AB such as a spot of boron (≤0.1) part replacement as CN1124411
5Ni in the type rare earth based hydrogen storage alloy to be improving its fast charging and discharging performance, and thinks that the replacement amount makes the alloy self-discharge rate increase too greatly.And for example CN1128413 adopts 0.05～0.15 stoichiometric proportion AB such as boron portion replacement
5Ni in the type rare earth based hydrogen storage alloy, the bridged ring network structure that makes the hydride that forms behind the absorption hydrogen have part has lower self discharge to reduce nickel metal hydride battery.CN1065353 is at AB for another example
5Add 0.005～0.2 boron in the type rare earth based hydrogen storage alloy and come reinforced alloys, reduce pulverization rate; Suppress the surface segregation that rare-earth elements La etc. puts in the hydrogen process in suction simultaneously and take place, improve the decay resistance of alloy.The present inventor finds to add the CeCo that a certain amount of boron can form high catalytic activity in rare earth based hydrogen storage alloy
4Type B second phase, the existence of second phase obviously improves the fast charging and discharging performance of alloy.Boron addition scope is 0.05≤v≤0.5, adds boron amount (＜0.05) very little, and second phase content that forms in the alloy is also few, and the alloy high rate capability improves little; Add boron amount too many (＞0.5), second phase content that forms in the alloy is too high, though the alloy high rate capability is fabulous, the discharge capacity of alloy is low excessively, can not satisfy the capacity requirement of high power type nickel metal hydride battery.
Hydrogen-storage alloy employing non-stoichiometric of the present invention especially over-stoichiometric ratio makes easier formation boracic second phase in the alloy.Adopt X-ray diffraction to detect and show, have CeCo in the hydrogen-storage alloy of the present invention
4Type B second phase, electrochemical test studies show that, this second is a kind of high catalytic activity phase mutually, and the existence of second phase has improved the diffusion velocity of hydrogen in the hydrogen-storage alloy body.In the hydrogen-storage alloy of the present invention second do not change principal phase CaCu mutually
5The type hexagonal structure is inhaled principal phase and to be put the hydrogen capacity properties influence seldom, and second itself can not inhale mutually and put hydrogen, but has improved the suction hydrogen releasing efficient of principal phase.The hydrogen-storage alloy that the present invention proposes is more recommended to adopt the additive of nickel boron alloy as boron except that adopting pure boron, can further improve the homogeneity of ingredients of hydrogen-storage alloy, and reduces the cost of raw material significantly, because the pure boron price is extremely expensive.In the hydrogen-storage alloy of the present invention by the distributing rationally of rare earth constituent element La, Ce, Pr and Nd, the thermodynamic property of improving hydrogen-storage alloy can further strengthen hydrogen in hydrogen-storage alloy absorption and emit speed.Simultaneously, the activity function of hydrogen-storage alloy of the present invention, inhale hydrogen desorption plateau pressure, charge and discharge circulation life, anti-oxidant, prevent that performance such as micronizing from also can satisfy the requirement of high power type nickel metal hydride battery.
