Low Temperature Characteristics of Hydrogen Storage Alloy LaMm-Ni4.1Al0.3Mn0.4Co0.45 for Ni-MH Batteries.


ABSTRACT: Nickel hydride batteries (Ni-MH) are known of their good performance and high reliability at temperatures below 0 °C, which is significantly dependent on electrolyte composition. Here we present the low temperature characteristics of pristine AB5-type alloy, LaMm-Ni4.1Al0.3Mn0.4Co0.45, determined in various alkali metal hydroxide solutions. We found that the combination of KOH with NaOH showed a significant effect of enhancement of low temperature performance of the electrode material and diffusion of hydrogen in the alloy. This 6M binary mixed NaOH/KOH electrolyte, comprising 4M KOH component and 2M NaOH component, made it possible to maintain 81.7% and 61.0% of maximum capacity at -20 °C and -30 °C, respectively, enhancing the hydrogen storage properties of the alloy after reheating to room temperature.
