Abstract

Effect of heat treatment on the properties and microstructure of non-stoichiometric Ti-Mn based hydrogen storage alloys were investigated. The results were presented that the hydrogen storage capacity was increased and the width of P-C-T Plateau extended, but the slope of plateau increased after heat treatment. Through SEM, EDS and XRD analysis, it was found that the crystal parameters and cell volume was increased, meanwhile the composition homogeneity effectively enhanced and the content of C15 phase decreased after heat treatment. The accretion of slope of plateau would be related to the ratio of valence electron/atom of the alloys.
