Influence of Boron Addition on Performances of Hydrogen Storage Alloys

Abstract:

Boron is a promising element for hydrogen storage alloys. Boron and its compounds used as an additive in negative electrode materials in metal hydridenickel battery will dramatically improve the performances of hydrogen storage alloys electrode. The influence of boron addition on the mechanical properties, dynamic properties and thermodynamic properties of hydrogen storage alloys is reviewed. The control of boron content in the alloys is of great importance for improving the performances MH-Ni batteries
