To understand the fundamental reason for the poor stability in hydrogen storage, the cycling behavior of ANi3intermetallics (A=La, Ce, Y) under hydrogen was systematically investigated and compared with the stability of the corresponding ANi2intermetallics. All cycled ANi3intermetallics are subject to amorphization to some extent, similar to corresponding ANi2intermetallics. Since the crystal structure of ANi3intermetallics consists of an alternating stacking between the ANi5subunit and the ANi2subunit, the hydrogen-induced amorphization as observed in ANi3intermetallics is assumed to associate with the ANi2subunits in their crystal structures. This assumption is supported by the experimental results obtained in the present work.
