This study aimed to improve the electrochemical performance of La-Y-Ni-based superlattice hydrogen storage alloys by coating them with nano-carbons. The results showed that the cyclic stability and high-rate dischargeability of the alloy could be enhanced through carbon coating. The optimal carbon coating content was found to be 0.3 wt%.
The superlattice La-Y-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys have high discharge capacity and are easy to prepare. However, there is still a gap in commercial applications because of the severe corrosion of the alloys in electrolyte and poor high-rate dischargeability (HRD). Therefore, (LaSmY) (NiMnAl)(3.5) alloy was prepared by magnetic levitation induction melting, and then the alloy was coated with different contents (0.1 wt%-1.0 wt%) of nano-carbons by low-temperature sintering with sucrose as the carbon source in this work. The results show that the cyclic stability and HRD of the alloy first increase and then decrease with the increase of carbon contents. The kinetic results show that the electrocatalytic activity and conductivity of the alloy electrodes can be enhanced by carbon coating. The electrochemical properties of the alloy are the best when the carbon coating content is 0.3 wt%. Compared with the uncoated alloy, the maximum discharge capacity (C-max) improves from 354.5 to 359.0 mAh/g, the capacity retention rate after 300 cycles (S-300) enhances from 73.15% to 80.01%, and the HRD1200 of the alloy enhances from 74.39% to 74.39%.
