Yttrium(Y) has been used as the partial substitution element for lanthanum(La) to improve the electrochemical kinetic performances of La-Mg-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys. La0.80–xYxMg0.20Ni2.85Mn0.10Co0.55Al0.10(x=0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) alloys were prepared by the inductive melting technique. The alloys were composed of La Ni5 and(La,Mg)2Ni7 phases, the introduction of Y promoted the formation of(La,Mg)2Ni7 phase, and thus the Y-substituted alloy electrodes exhibited higher discharge capacities. Y substitution was also found to be effective to improve the discharge kinetics of the alloy electrodes. When the Y content x increased from 0.00 to 0.10, the high-rate dischargeability of the alloy electrodes at a discharge current density of 1800 m A/g(HRD1800) increased from 23.6% to 39.7% at room temperature. In addition, the measured HRD1800 showed a linear dependence on both the exchange current density and the hydrogen diffusion coefficient at different temperatures, respectively.
