Effect of non-stoichiometric Mn and Cr on the hydrogen storage properties of Ti–Mn-based alloys
The effects of non-stoichiometric Mn and Cr on the hydrogen storage properties of Ti-Mn-based Ti<sub>0.84</sub>Zr<sub>0.16</sub>Mn<sub>0.9+<i>x</i></sub> Cr<sub>0.7</sub>Fe<sub>0.1</sub> (<i>x</i> = 0, 0.1, 0.2) and Ti<sub>0.84</sub>Zr<sub>0.16</sub>Mn<sub>0.9</sub>Cr<sub>0.7+<i>y</i></sub> Fe<sub>0.1</sub> (<i>y</i> = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys were investigated. The alloys were synthesized by arc melting and crystallized in a single C14-type Laves phase structure. With increasing Mn and Cr content, the equilibrium plateau pressures of the alloys during hydrogen absorption/desorption increased markedly, while the plateaus became flatter and the maximum hydrogen absorption capacities showed a slight decrease. Lower Mn/Cr ratios contribute to reduced hysteresis and lower plateau pressures. However, this improvement is associated with a decline in hydrogen storage capacity. The cyclic performance of the Ti<sub>0.84</sub>Zr<sub>0.16</sub>Mn<sub>0.9</sub>Cr<sub>0.7</sub>Fe<sub>0.1</sub> alloy, which exhibited excellent hydrogen storage properties, was studied. It was found that the capacity retention rate reached 96.2% after 500 hydrogenation-dehydrogenation cycles.
