Abstract:The electrochemical properties of the super-stoichiometric TiV-based hydrogen storage electrode alloys(Ti0.8Zr0.2)(V0.533Mn0.107Cr0.16Ni0.2)x(x=2, 3, 4, 5, 6) were studied. It is found by XRD analysis that all the alloys mainly consist of a C14 Laves phase with hexagonal structure and a V-based solid solution phase with BCC structure. The lattice parameters and the unit cell volumes of the two phases decrease with increasing x. The cycle life, the linear polarization, the anode polarization and the electrochemical impedance spectra of the alloy electrodes were investigated systematically. The overall electrochemical properties of the alloy electrode are found improved greatly as the result of super-stoichiometry and get to the best when x=5
Key words: super-stoichiometry; TiV-based hydrogen storage alloy; C14 Laves phase; V-based solid solution; electrochemical property
