TL;DR: In this article, the effect of partial substitution of Mg by La on the crystal structure and electrochemical performance of the alloys was investigated, showing promising electrode properties including a large discharge capacity (∼400 mAh/g), easy activation and good high-rate dischargeability, although the cycling stability needs further improvement.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of partial substitution of Co for Ni on the structure and electrochemical properties of quaternary alloys was investigated, and the results showed that the increase of Co content in the alloys leads to an increase in both the cell volume and hydride stability, and leads to a noticeable decrease in cell volume expansion rate on hydriding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the alloy preparation methods on their microstructure and electrochemical properties was studied, and it was shown that the melt-spun Co-free alloy showed the best cycling stability (S 500 =69.2%) and a reasonably high capacity (305 mA h g −1 ) and 1C rate dischargeability (85.6%), which is attributed to its lower degree of pulverization and more uniform composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of titanium on the crystalline structure and electrochemical properties of Zr-based AB 2 electrode alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XRD and Rietveld analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spherical-like morphology orthorhombic LiMnO2 (So-LiMmO2) powders were obtained by a carbonate co-precipitation method, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method.
