简介:InordertoimprovethehydrogenationanddehydrogenationperformancesoftheMg2Ni-typealloys,MgwaspartiallysubstitutedbyLainthealloy,andmeltspinningtechnologywasusedforthepreparationoftheMg20-xLaxNi10(x=0,2,4,6)hydrogenstoragealloys.ThestructuresofthealloyswerestudiedbyX-raydiffraction(XRD),scanningelectronmicroscopy(SEM)andhigh-resolutiontransmissionelectronmicroscopy(HRTEM).Itwasfoundthatnoamorphousphaseformedintheas-spunLa-freealloy,buttheas-spunalloyscontainingLaheldamajoramorphousphase.WhenLacontentx≤2,themajorphaseintheas-castalloyswasMg2Niphase,butwithfurtherincreaseofLacontent,themajorphaseoftheas-castalloyschangedintoLaNi5+LaMg3phase.Thermalstabilityoftheas-spunalloyswasstudiedbydifferentialscanningcalorimetry(DSC),showingthatspinningratewasanegligiblefactoronthecrystallizationtemperatureoftheamorphousphase.Thehydrogenabsorptionanddesorptionkineticsoftheas-castandas-spunalloysweremeasuredusinganautomaticallycontrolledSievertsapparatus,confirmingthatthehydrogenabsorptionanddesorptioncapacitiesandkineticsoftheas-castalloysclearlyincreasedwithrisingLacontent.ForLacontentx=2,theas-spunalloydisplayedoptimalhydrogendesorptionkineticsat200°C.
