With lanthanum, magnesium and nickel chloride as the main salt, citric acid (C3H8O7•H2O) as a complexing agent, La-Mg-Ni storage materials were prepared by galvanostatic electrodeposition method in aqueous solution. The effect of additive C6H4SO2NNaCO•2H2O on the properties of electrodeposited alloy film was studied. The results showed that: adding appropriate amount of C6H4SO2NNaCO•2H2O may be effective in improving the surface morphology of the La-Mg-Ni alloy film, and be more conducive to the formation of LaMg2Ni9alloy phase; when the dosage was 0.20g/L, the cathodic polarization of the bath was the strongest, and cracks and pores were the least on the alloy film surface prepared by electro-deposited, the apparent activation free energy of alloy film was 48.2 kJ/mol, electrode absorption level Q was 0.030μF/cm2, the alloy film resistor Rd was 138.5Ω/cm2.
