Abstract
The electrochemical properties of the Ti2.8C0.2Ni2, Ti3Ni1.8C0.2 and Ti3Ni2 alloys prepared by powder sintering were studied. The results show that Ti2.8C0.2Ni2 and Ti3Ni1.8C0.2 alloys possess lower corrosion rate and better anti-pulverization in alkaline electrolyte. Therefore, the cycle life of Ti2.8C0.2Ni2 and Ti3Ni1.8C0.2 alloys is significantly improved compared with that of Ti3Ni2. The capacity retention of them increases to 66.4% and 63% respectively, much higher than that of the original Ti3Ni2 alloys (53.4%). In addition, Ti3Ni1.8C0.2 alloy has better maximum discharge capacity Cmax of 316.8 mAh/g than the original Ti3Ni2 alloy (305.3 mAh/g). All the three alloys with excellent property of HRD, can still remain above 62% of HRD at discharge current density of 1100 mA/g. After C substitution, the HRD of alloys are further improved, especially that of Ti3Ni1.8C0.2 alloy.
