Discharge efficiencies were evaluated for nonstoichiometric and stoichiometric Mm(B5), (B5= Ni3.6Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.7, x = 0.88, 0.96, 1.00, 1.12) alloys. The discharge efficiency decreased with an increase in activation energy for hydrogen diffusion in the alloys. X-ray diffraction data showed the appearance of Ce2Ni7-type second phase, which formed a very stable hydride, for the Mm(B5)0.88alloy and Ni3Al-type one, which had high catalytic activity, for the Mm(B5)1.12alloy, respectively. The Mm(B5), alloys with larger x values or higher electrocatalytic activity showed higher discharge efficiency. It was therefore considered that not only hydrogen diffusion in the alloys but also charge transfer at the alloy/solution interface are responsible for the improvement of the discharge efficiency.
