英文摘要 | Although already scientists in recent years have reported some experimental and theoretical results of La-Ni-Al series of tritium-storage alloys, several key aspects remain the subject of considerable debate. In an effort to interpret some of these unknowns, we have performed experimental and theoretical investigations for LaNi5-xAlx (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) tritium-storage alloys. Firstly, the XRD characterization indicates that the unit cell volumes of LaNi5-xAlx increase with Al content in alloys. Secondly, the PC-isotherm measurement of LaNi5-xAlx alloys shows that their hydrogen absorption/desorption plateau pressures reduce with the increase of Al content while their plateau widths narrow simultaneously. The deuterium absorption/desorption plateaus have a similar trend to hydrogen's except for their plateaus being higher than hydrogen's. To explain the above experimental findings, a series of calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and frozen phonon approach have been performed. The results manifest that: (1) the partial substitutions of Al for Ni reduce the hydrogen formation energies of LaNi5-xAlxH and the number of available interstitial sites, and therefore lead to the absorption/desorption plateau pressures being reduced and the plateau widths being narrowed down at the same experimental temperatures; (2) the covalent interaction between H and Ni is an important factor for estimating the stability of LaNi5-xAlx-H system; (3) since the calculated enthalpy change Delta H is generally more accurate than the calculated entropy change Delta S with respect to the corresponding experimental value for each LaNi5-xAlx-H (or D), the curves of Delta H vs. hydrogen storage capacity instead of Van't Hoff relation, can be used to predict the experimental plateau pressures of LaNi5-xAlx-H (D or T) at a given temperature; (4) the hydrogen isotope effect of LaNi5-xAlx-H (D or T) system can be quantitatively described as a linearity relation between Delta ZPE + Delta H-vib and 1/root(m)Q (Q = H, D, T). From the good agreement between the predicted and experimental In(P-H/P-0) and In(P-D/P-0), it is deduced that predicting In(P-T/P-0) of LaNi5-xAlxT is feasible. The procedure of pre-computing and comparing curves of Delta H vs. hydrogen storage capacity proposed in this paper provided an attractive tool to increase the efficiency of experimental alloying design of hydrogen (deuterium or tritium) storage materials.
