Heat Treatment and Microstructural Studies of LaNi-Type Battery Electrode Alloys

Abstract:

The effects of annealing on the microstructures and electrochemical characteristics of a La0.7Mg0.3Al0.3Mn0.4Co0.5Ni3.8 hydrogen storage alloy have been studied. The heat treatment by vacuum annealing was carried out at 700 °C, 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C. The microstructure and phase composition of the alloy have been investigated using inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The battery anode was prepared using a mixture of the pulverized alloy with carbon black and polytetrafluoroethylene as a binder.
