This project is to reveal the effect of phase composition and structure stability on the electrochemical properties of high-power A5B19-type La–Mg–Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys. Based on the preparation of A5B19-type single phase hydrogen storage alloys, the formation condition and phase transformation mechanism of A5B19 phase, as well as the controllable preparation of A5B19-type La–Mg–Ni-based alloys having different phase compositions with A5B19 main phase and AB3, A2B7, AB4 or AB5 secondary phase are studied. The behavior of hydrogen atoms entering and leaving the alloys phases and the interrelation between A5B19 phase and other phases are thoroughly studied. Besides, the influence and mechanism of phase compositions on the electrochemical characteristics of the alloys are revealed. The effect of partial element substitution on the composition and structure stability of [A2B4] and [AB5] slabs in A5B19 phase, and the influence rule on hydrogen absorption/desorption behavior and electrochemical properties are studied. The effective methods of significant improvement on electrochemical cycling stability of A5B19-type La–Mg–Ni-based hydrogen storage alloy through increasing phase stability of A5B19 phase structure are discussed. The work provides theoretical guidance to the designation and preparation of long cycling and high power La–Mg–Ni-based negative electrode materials with good overall electrochemical properties.
