Abstract
Compared with traditional hydrogen storage alloys,perovskite oxide LaFeO3 materials are considered as one of the most promising anode materials for nickel-metal hydride batteries owing to their low cost,environmental friendliness,and superior temperature resistance.However,the biggest problem faced by perovskite oxide LaFeO3 as an anode material for Nickel/metal hydride(Ni-MH)batteries is the low elec-trical conductivity and poor specific capacity,which is mainly due to the serious agglomeration phe-nomenon in its structure.To solve the above problems,lamellar LaFeO3 material with large specific sur-face area and small particle size has been synthesized by adding N,N-Dimethylformamide(DMF)and polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)inhibitor materials to the precursor.By changing the sintering temperature,the lamellar composite LaFeO3 material can be controlled.Consequently,the maximum discharge capac-ity of lamellar LaFeO3 is up to 372.1 mA h g-1 at the discharge current density of 60 mA g-1.Meanwhile,after 100 cycles,the specific discharge capacity of the lamellar LaFeO3 can still reach 293.1 mA h g-1,which is much higher than that of 98.5 mA h g-1 for LaFeO3.In addition,the kinetics of LaFeO3 has been investigated and the lamellar LaFeO3 shows excellent dynamic properties.Notably,the exchange current density I0(300 mA g-1)of the layered LaFeO3 electrode is higher than that of LaFeO3(150 mA g-1).Over-all,this work provides insights into a structure-performance relationship for the further development of high-performance perovskite-type oxide nickel-metal hydride battery anodes.
