Abstract
Intermetallic compounds La3–xMgxNi9 (x = 1.0, 1.1) were synthesized and their hydrogen sorption and electrochemical properties were studied. The maximum hydrogen storage capacities for La2MgNi9 and La1.9Mg1.1Ni9 were shown to be 1.6±0.1 and 1.5±0.1 wt.%, respectively, and the unit cell volume increased by 24% and 16%, respectively, upon the hydrogenation of the alloys. The maximum specific capacity of the electrodes with the La1.9Mg1.1Ni9 and La2MgNi9 alloys is 390 mA h g–1 at a discharge current density of 60 mA g–1, which is 24% higher as compared to the similar data for the LaNi5 alloy (315 mA h g–1). The electrodes demonstrate high specific capacity and performance at high current densities, as well as good cyclic stability.
