Abstract
La1-xCexNi5 alloys (x = 0, 0.09, 0.25 and 0.5) were investigated in terms of their structures, phase contents, hydrogen storage properties and microhardness. It was confirmed that a cerium addition to the reference (LaNi5) alloy caused structural changes such as lattice shrinkage and, as a result, changed both the absorption and desorption pressures and the enthalpies of formation and decomposition. The alloy with the highest cerium content was found to possess a two-phase structure, probably as a result of nonequilibrium cooling conditions during its manufacturing process. The microhardness was found to increase to some extent with the cerium content and decrease for samples with the highest cerium content.| Author | |||||
