In this paper, the effects of substitution of Zr for La on the structure and electrochemical properties of the La{sub 0.7-x}Zr {sub x}Mg{sub 0.3}Ni{sub 2.45}Mn{sub 0.1}Co{sub 0.75}Al{sub 0.2} (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1) hydrogen storage alloys have been studied systematically. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that all the alloys mainly consist of a (La, Mg)Ni{sub 3} phase and a LaNi{sub 5} phase. The cell volumes of these two phases decrease with increasing x. Electrochemical studies indicate that the maximum discharge capacity decreases from 364.5 mAh/g (x = 0) to 306.9 mAh/g (x = 0.1). The high rate dischargeability (HRD) first increases and then decreases with increasing x. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization, anodic polarization and potential-step measurements showed that the exchange current density I {sub 0} always decreases, the limiting current density I {sub L} and the hydrogen diffusion coefficient D first increases and then decreases with increasing x from 0 to 0.1.
