Abstract

A crystalline Ti 2Ni alloy was mechanically milled and subsequently annealed to form a non-equilibrium Ti 2Ni alloy. This non-equilibrium structure could restrain the formation of irreversible metal hydride during charging. Consequently, we demonstrated that the alloy had a discharge capacity of 336 mAh g -1, which was much higher than those of other Ti 2Ni alloys reported in the literature and also higher than that of the commercial LaNi 5-based alloy. An electrochemical hydrogen absorption-desorption mechanism of the alloy during cycling is also presented.
