Mm0.75Mg0.25Ni3.5Co0.2Al0.3(Mm represents lanthanum-rich mixed rare earth)as-cast alloy was prepared in a high-frequency induction levitation furnace and then annealed at different temperatures.XRD analysis shows that the alloy is mainly composed of LaNi5 phase and La2Ni7 phase.The diffraction peaks of LaNi5 and La2Ni7 alloy phases are strengthened after annealing treatment.At the annealing temperature of 800℃,the unit cell volume of La2Ni7 reaches the maximum value of 0.5497nm3,indicating that Co and Al alloying elements can be better dissolved in the main phases after annealing treatment at 800℃.Elec-trochemical test analysis shows that the annealed alloy at 800℃ has a maximum discharge capacity of up to 351.5 mA·h/g,a capacity retention rate of 82.3%after 130charge-discharge cycles,and excellent high-rate discharge performance.
