Hydrogen storage properties of Mn and Cu for Fe substitution in TiFe0.9 intermetallic compound
TL;DR: In this paper, partial substitutions of Mn and Cu for Fe in the TiFe-system were investigated to gain better understanding of the role of elemental substitution on its hydrogen storage properties. And the results showed that low quantity of secondary phases helps the activation of the main TiFe phase for the first hydrogen absorption, but on increasing their amounts, harsher activation occurs.

Electrochemical performances of the Pd-added Ti-V-based hydrogen storage alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the Pd element was introduced into the Ti-V-based hydrogen storage alloys, and the structure and electrochemical properties of the Ti0.8Zr 0.8Ni1.7Mn 0.2V2.0Pdx (x = 0 − 0.1) alloys were systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic charge/discharge, high rate discharge (HRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization and potentiostatic step discharge measurements.

Oxidation behavior of TiC-containing Ti3AlC2 based material at 500–900 °C in air
Xiaohui Wang,Yanchun Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 5 vol% TiC inclusion in air was investigated by means of TGA, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and SEM/EDS, and it was demonstrated that although Ti3AlC2 exhibited good oxidation resistance at temperatures above 700 °C, anomalous oxidation with higher oxidation rate occurred at lower temperatures of 500 and 600 °C.
