STUDY ON Ti Ni La HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOY

In ordertoimprovethe dischargecapacity of Ti2 Ni hydrogen storage alloy, the phases and effecton the property for Ti Nialloy with alittle La( La contentisbetween 5 25 wt% and12 62 wt%) were investigated in this paper. It is found that La exists in the form ofLaNi5 ,thesecond phase,in Ti Nialloy when La> 8 wt% . LaNi5 phasecaneffectivelyim provethe activity property and discharge capacity of Ti Ni alloy. While the soluble Ti inmain phase Ti2 Niisadverseto hydrogen adsorption desorption cycle and itshould be dimin ished .
