-type phase. The electrochemical measurements show that the maximum discharge capacity reaches to 386 mA·h/g
16.3% higher than that of the commercial AB
5
-type alloy(332 mA·h/g). For the discharge current density of 1 100 mA/g
the higher
rate discharge ability gets 62%
while that of the commercial AB
5
-type alloy is only 45%. The discharge capacity decreases to 315 mA·h/g after 300th cycle
81.5% of the maximum discharge capacity.
