Abstract:
Using LaNi
3.7Al
0.75Mn
0.55(La-Ni-Al-Mn)hydrogen storage alloys as the matrix,a low-cost fumed silica sol coating method was used to study the anti-poisoning modification of hydrogen storage alloy.The La-Ni-Al-Mn/SiO
2 composites show good anti-poisoning performance and cycle stability.After 50 cycles,the hydrogen absorption rate of the composites remains unchanged,and the hydrogen absorption capacity reaches 1.060%.The anti-poisoning mechanism of the composite material is as follows:the amorphous SiO
2 coating layer forms a hydrogen permeation point with a short-range orderly arrangement of atoms during the heat treatment process,which effectively blocks the permeation of macromolecular gases such as O
2,N
2.Through the optimization of the heat treatment process of the composites,the optimal heat treatment process is finally obtained at 200℃ for 2 h.
