Cast or heat treated La0.80Mg0.20(Ni0.94Co0.06)3.7 alloys were prepared to investigate effects of heat treatment on electrode cycling performance, phase composition and electrochemical corrosion behaviour of the alloys. The results from SEM and EDS analysis show that heat treatment will result in less Mg and Ni concentration difference between phases in the alloys. Compared with cast alloy, heat treated alloy has a more positive interphase corrosion mixed potential. The maximum interphase corrosion current density of cast alloy and heat treated alloy is 106.1 mA/g and 82.4 mA/g,respectively. After heat treatment, the al loy has better electrode cycling performance due to lower interphase electrochemical corrosion.
