TLDR
In this paper, the stability of LaNi intermetallic compounds was studied and showed a gradual increase in the stability as Ni concentration increases from LaNi to LaNi/sub 5/ accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the matching ternary hydride.
Abstract
H absorption by La--Ni intermetallic compounds was studied. Results show a gradual increase in the stability of the intermetallic compound as the Ni concentration increases from LaNi to LaNi/sub 5/ accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the stability of the matching ternary hydride. (JRD)

Hydriding properties of LaNi3 and CaNi3 and their substitutes with PuNi3-type structure

TL;DR: The PuNi3-type intermetallic compounds LaNi3, CaNi3 and La0.5MgNi9 have been prepared using a powder-metallurgy-sintering method and the hydrogenation behavior of these materials has been studied through the gas-solid reaction as discussed by the authors.

Stability of rechargeable hydriding alloys during extended cycling

TL;DR: In this article, three AB5 alloys were subject to 1500 hydriding and dehydriding cycles at 85°C to determine the stability of hydrogen transfer properties, and it was suggested that a specific metal-lattice atom pair may account for much of the LaNi5 damage.

On the heat of formation of solid alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the second term is preferably to be written as Q 0 (Δn 1 3 ws ) 2, and that the values for P and Q 0 are now nearly the same for widely different alloy systems.

The electronegativity parameter for transition metals: Heat of formation and charge transfer in alloys

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the work function of a metal is proportional to the chemical potential for electrons in Wigner-Seitz atomic cells; the proportionality factor is found to be about 1·4.

Hydrogen absorption in LaNi5 and related compounds: Experimental observations and their explanation

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the change in hydrogen sorption properties caused by partially replacing La or Ni in LaNi5 by other metals is presented. But this study assumes that the more stable the original RNi5 compound, the weaker is the tendency to form a rNi5--hydride.

Phase relations and hydrogen absorption in the lanthanum-nickel system

TL;DR: The LaNi system has been reinvestigated in the range 50-100 at. % Ni as mentioned in this paper, and the following compounds were observed: LaNi, LaNi 1.4, LaNi 2, La Ni 3, La 2 Ni 7 and LaNi 5.

Sorption hysteresis in the LaNi5-H and SmCo5-H systems

TL;DR: In this article, it was argued that the magnitude of hysteresis is related to the rather large volume expansion which accompanies the formation of the hydride, and the authors proposed a method to solve this problem.
