La1-xMgxNi2.8Co0.7 (x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5) hydrogen storage alloy was synthesized by solid diffusion method. The microstructure of the alloy was analyzed by XRD when the content of Mg was changed. When x equaled to 0.3, there was relative much La2Ni7 phase in the alloy and the alloy exhibited better integrated electrochemical performance. Its maximum discharge capacity reached 355.4mAh/g and capacity retention after 50 cycles(S50)was 77.80%. The results showed the existence of La2Ni7 phase would be conductive to the integrated electrochemical performance of the alloy.

Microstructure and self-discharge characteristics of Ti-Zr-V-Cr-Ni-Ce hydrogen storage electrode have been investigated by XRD, FESEM-EDS and EIS measurements. Self-discharge properties indicate that the irreversible capacity loss is negative, which is different from that of AB5 alloy electrode. The capacity loss can be divided in two parts, one is due to the deterioration of the hydrogen storage alloy, which will result in the decrease of discharge capacity, and the other is due to the continually activated, which will result in the increase of discharge capacity.

Structure and electrochemical characteristics of La0.96Ce0.04Mg0.15Al0.05Ni2.8hydrogen storage alloy have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the La0.96Ce0.04Mg0.15Al0.05Ni2.8hydrogen storage alloy consisted of a (La, Mg)Ni3phase with the rhombohedral PuNi3-type structure and a LaNi5phase with the hexagonal CaCu5-type structure. TEM shows that the alloy is multicrystal with a lattice space 0.187 nm. EDS analyse shows that the content of Mg is 3.48% (atom) which coincide well with the designed composition of the electrode alloy. Electrochemical investigations show that the maximum discharge capacity of the alloy electrode is 325 mAh g−1. The alloy electrode has higher discharge capacity within the discharge current density span from 60 mA g−1to 300 mA g−1. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements indicate that the charge transfer resistanceRTon the alloy electrode surface and the calculated exchange current densityI0are 0.135 Ω and 1298 mA g−1, respectively; the better eletrochemical reaction kinetic of the alloy electrode may be responsible for the better high-rate dischargeability.

The Li2MnO3-coated LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 shows a higher discharge capacity and a better capacity retention. The coating layer can protect the NCM active materials from CO2, suppressing the formation of Li2CO3 on the surface of NCM materials.

A LiNi0.4Co0.2Mn0.4O2 material was prepared via the co-precipitation in solution and ensuing solid reaction of the prepared precursors with LiOH.H2O, investigating the influence of solid reaction temperature on the cation mixing and electrochemical performance of the materials as a cathode. The results show that Li+/Ni2+ cation mixing decreases with the increase of calcination temperature in the range of 700-900°C, and the lower degree of cation mixing can improve 2D layered structure and make the material more stable. The discharge capacity and the capacity retention rate of the material is strongly impacted by the reaction temperature.The powders calcined at 900°C show the best electrochemical performance and the initial discharge capacity is 163.1mA·h/g, after 40 cycles, the capacity retention rate is 93.9%.
