Abstract: La0.7Mg0.3Ni2.8Co0.6Al0.1 hydrogen storage alloys was prepared by solid diffusion reaction under argon atmosphere. The effect of synthesis temperature was studied. The phase structure and electrochemical performance of these alloys were investigated by means of XRD Rietveld method and electrochemical testing. It was shown that all these alloys were consisted of LaNi5,La2Ni7 and LaNi3 phases. Synthesis temperature had obvious effect on the alloy. When the temperature was too low, more unkonwn phase exsited because that the elements diffusion was insufficient. And when the temperature was too high, the burn out rate of Mg element increased so that the discharge capacity decreased. When the synthesis temperature was 900℃, the alloy showed the best electrochemical performance, whose maximum discharge capacity was 373.1mAh/g.
