In this paper, Al was partially substituted by Si in the Zintl phase alloy SrAl2and the structural and hydrogenation properties of the SrAl2−xSix(x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and hydrogenation measurements. With the substitution of Al by Si, SrAlSi phase appears in the alloy and the SrAl2−xSix(x=0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) alloys are all composed of SrAl2and SrAlSi phases. The phase abundance of SrAl2and SrAlSi is decreased and increased, respectively, when x increases from 0.2 to 0.6. However, the alloy consists of a single SrAlSi phase when x=0.8 and 1.0. Hydrogenation measurements were made at 573K under 3MPa hydrogen pressure. The hydrogen absorption capacity is decreased with increasing the Si substitution for Al, which can be attributed to the smaller hydrogen absorption capacity and slower hydrogenation rate of SrAlSi phase than SrAl2phase.
