THE EFFECTS OF TITANIUM ON THE PHASE STRUCTURE AND CHARGE/DISCHARGE PERFORMANCE OF Ml(NiCoMnTi)_5 ALLOY

Abstract

研究了微量 Ti在 Ml(NiCoMnTi)5合金中的作用.结果表明,在铸态条件下,Ti几乎全部以 TiNi3第二相的形式在晶界析出,退火处理后 TiNi3相消失,但 SEM和 EDS表明 Ti取代了 AB5型化合物中 A侧的稀土 Ml;而不是 B侧的 Ni.Ti在 A侧的取代量以 5%为宜.此时合金在铸态和退火态的放电容量都在 310 mA·h/g以上.进一步提高取代量虽然会改善循环稳定性,但大大降低了放电容量.Substitutional effect of small amount of Ti in hydrogen storage electrode alloy Ml(NiCoMnTi)5 was systematically studied. The results show that Ti in the alloy is almost entirely separated out as a second phase of TiNi3 at boundary of the as-cast dendrite. After annealed, TiNi3 phase disappeared, but SEM and EDS analyses indicate that the partially substituted element by Ti is mishmetal Ml, not Ni in B side as expected, i.e. Ti is an A side substituent element. The optimal substitution amount is 5% (atomic fraction), with which the corresponding alloy, both as-cast and annealed, shows a high discharge capacity over 310 mA.h/g. If more Ti is added, a greatly decreased discharge capacity will be received with only a little increase of better cycle stability.国家自然科学基金资助项目59801008;; 国家863高新技术计划资助项目 715-004-006
