摘要
MmNi(5) substituted alloys with Mn, Al and Co were studied as active materials for (-) electrodes in Ni/MH prismatic sealed cells for electric vehicles. In order to reduce the alloy cost, the influence of Co content was studied from 10-5% by weight in the AB(5). As Co content is reduced, decrepitation and alloy corrosion are higher. Particularly, we showed how Al released by the corroded alloy polluted the (+) electrodes in the cell. Substitution of Co by Fe allows cost reduction without affecting Ni/MH cell performances and this behaviour is attributed to less decrepitation.
