Yq. Lei et al., EFFECT OF RARE-EARTH COMPOSITION ON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OFMULTICOMPONENT RENI(5-X)M(X) (M=CO,MN,TI) ALLOYS, Journal of alloys and compounds, 231(1-2), 1995, pp. 553-557
The electrochemical properties of RENi(5-x)M(x) (M = Co, Mn, Ti) hydro
gen storage alloys with different compositions of rare earth component
s (RE = La1-x-y-zCexNdyPrz) were systematically examined. The results
showed that La, Ce, Nd and Pr all had big effects on the electrode per
formance. A mathematical-methodological approach to compositions was u
sed and the results showed that all had the combined effect on the ele
ctrode properties. A computer program was adopted to draw out isograph
s including the isodischarge capacity, iso-high-rate dischargeability
and isocycle life of multicomponent alloy electrodes vs. the compositi
on of quasi-ternary rare earth elements.
