(LaCa_(3))_(0.5-x)Mg_(1+4x)Ni_(9)(x=0,0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,0.1)合金微观结构及储氢性能研究

摘要

AB3型La⁃Mg⁃Ni系列储氢合金由于储氢容量优异、放电容量高、活化快等优势受到储能领域的关注.采用真空感应熔炼法制备了(LaCa_(3))_(0.5-x)Mg_(1+4x)Ni_(9)(x=0,0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,0.1)合金,表征合金的微观结构并测试储氢合金性能差异,研究合金A侧元素比例对合金性能影响的内在机理.合金活化性能受Mg元素取代量的影响明显,活化吸放氢速率随着Mg质量分数的增加先增加后减小.随着Mg替代量的增加,合金的最大吸放氢容量分别由1.866%和1.311%提高到1.972%和1.732%,吸放氢焓变绝对值分别由15.71 kJ/mol和17.88 kJ/mol降低到8.88 kJ/mol和9.28 kJ/mol,其热稳定性降低,这对改善热力学性能有积极作用.
