Electrochemical hydrogenation of composite based on the Tb2Ni7:xMg with perovskite ceramics
Abstract
R2M7 (R = rare-earth metal, M = elements of iron triade) intermetallic compounds are attractive magnetic and hydrogen sorption materials. Alloys with this composition often consist of several phases: hexagonal Ce2Ni7-type, rhombohedral Gd2Co7-type and CaCu5-type phases. These phases form solid solutions up to 6–7 at. % Mg. Solid solutions with a complex mechanism of substitution are formed, where both terbium and nickel are partially substituted by Mg. The hydrogen sorption properties are inherent to these solid solutions.
