[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a hydrogen storage material with excellent exchange efficiency or sensitivity, which is used in energy conversion such as a heat pump or a temperature sensor, and in particular to an Lm-Ni-based hydrogen storage material. [Conventional technology] Conventionally, Ti-Fe alloys and La
- Various materials made of Ni 5 or MmNi 5 (Mm is Mitsushi Metal) based alloys or Mg based alloys have been proposed. Therefore, the properties required for a hydrogen storage material are (1) ease of activation, (2) large hydrogen storage capacity, and (3) the ability to (4) flatness of the plateau, etc., and these materials are also required to be abundant in resources and inexpensive. However, when it comes to materials made of LaNi 5 or MmNi alloys, while the former has the advantage of having a large hydrogen storage capacity and a relatively fast absorption and desorption rate, the raw material La
is expensive and has a practical economical problem. On the other hand, the latter was developed to improve the economic efficiency of La, but generally Mm is Ce40 ~
50% La, 25~35% La, and various other metals such as Nd, Pr, Sm, and Gd. MmNi 5 requires high pressure hydrogen of 100 Kg/cm 2 or more to activate at room temperature, and The drawback is that it has large hysteresis and is difficult to put into practical use. To solve this problem, a method has been proposed in which a third element such as Al or another fourth element is ignited in a material made of MmNi alloy to lower the occlusion and release pressure at room temperature than before and to reduce the hysteresis. However, the addition of the third element and the fourth element has the disadvantage that the amount of hydrogen storage becomes smaller. In order to solve this problem, the applicant has developed a hydrogen storage material containing rare earth metals that can be easily activated at room temperature, has a large hydrogen storage capacity, and has a low hysteresis without first reducing the properties of the hydrogen storage material. We have proposed a hydrogen storage material that is small in size, has a fast absorption and release rate, and has a flat plateau (Japanese Patent Application No. 58-20192). That is, an alloy of rare earth metals (hereinafter simply referred to as Lm), Ni and Al containing 40 to 70 wt% of rare earth metals (hereinafter simply referred to as %) and 0.1 to 20% of Ce and other metals such as Nd, Pr, and Sm. It is a hydrogen storage material consisting of [Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] However, while the above alloy has a large hydrogen storage capacity, a relatively fast storage and release rate, and is effective for reducing storage and release pressure, it still has a problem of large hysteresis. There is. An object of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen storage material that has a large hydrogen storage capacity at room temperature and relatively low pressure, and has small hysteresis. [Means for solving the problem] The first invention of the present application has the general formula LmNi (Xa) Sn a
(However, Lm is La40~70%, Ce0.1~20%, etc.
Rare earth metals containing metals such as Nd, Pr, and Sm;
X is 4.8 to 5.5, a is 0.01 to 1.0), and the second invention is an Sn-containing hydrogen storage material represented by the general formula
LmNi (Xab) Sn a A b (However, Lm is La40~70%,
Ce0.1~20% Rare earth metal containing other metals such as Nd, Pr, Sm; A is 1 of Al, Mn, Co or V
Species; X is 4.8 to 5.5, and a and b are each 0.01 to 1.0). [Function] Lm used in the present invention is La40~70%, Ce0.1~
20% other metals such as Nd, Pr, and Sm, and such Lm is derived from naturally occurring and purified bastnaesite, monazite, and crude rare earth chlorides.
It can be easily obtained by removing part or most of Ce. For example, Ce is bastnaesite concentrate,
Most of the monazite concentrate was separated by precipitation by roasting, extracting with hydrochloric acid, and filtering.
The Ce-poor Lm solution precipitates Lm as a hydroxide using NH 4 OH, etc., and then converts this into chloride,
It is obtained by making it into a soft substance and then subjecting it to molten salt electrolysis. The hydrogen storage material of the present invention is prepared by heating and melting Lm, metallic Ni, and granular Sn in an inert atmosphere such as argon in a known high frequency furnace or tungsten electrode arc melting furnace, followed by heat treatment as appropriate and pulverization. By this, it is possible to easily obtain the hydrogen storage material of the specified invention, and furthermore, it is possible to easily obtain the hydrogen storage material of the specified invention, and furthermore, it is possible to obtain the hydrogen storage material of the specified invention.
The hydrogen storage material of the general formula of the second invention can also be easily obtained by adding one or two of the following. The amount of Sn added in the present invention is set in the range of 0.01 to 1.0, because if it is less than 0.01, there is no effect of reducing hysteresis, and if it is more than 1.0, the hydrogen storage amount will be reduced by the addition of Sn. In addition, Al, Lm X Ni (Xa) Sn a , which is a specified invention,
Hysteresis can be improved by adding a fourth element such as Mn, Co, or V, or a fourth element and a fifth element, but if the content of the fourth element and fifth element such as Al, Mn, etc. is 0.01 or less, the storage pressure cannot be improved. I can't do it again
Above 1.0, the storage capacity decreases. Therefore, the A element should be in the range of 0.01 to 1.0. Furthermore, if X in the above general formulas (1) and (2) is larger than 5.5 or smaller than 4.8, not only will the hydrogen storage capacity decrease, but the hydride will become unstable.
Since the material tends to deteriorate due to repeated absorption and release of hydrogen, it is necessary that X be in the range of 4.8 to 5.5. [Example] Next, manufacturing examples of the present invention will be explained, and the effects thereof will also be explained. Production example 1 LmNi 4.9 is obtained by heating and melting a predetermined amount of metal Ni and granular Sn in Lm in an argon atmosphere in an arc melting furnace.
Sn 0.1 , LmNi 4.8 Sn 0.2 , and LmNi 4.7 Sn 0.3 are each purified, heat treated at 1050°C for 8 hours, and then ground into 9 to 100 meshes in the air. For comparison,
LmNi 5 , LmNi 4.9 Al 0.1 and LmNi 4.8 Al 0.2 were produced in the same manner as above. Comparative Example 1 La was treated with metallic Ni and granular Sn in the same manner as in Production Example 1 to produce LaNi 4.7 Sn 0.3 , LaNi 5 , and LaNi 4.7 Al 0.3 , respectively. Comparative Example 2 MmNi 4.7 was added to Mm in the same manner as in Production Example 1.
Sn 0.3 , MmNi 5 and MmNi 4.7 Al 0.3 were produced. Production example 2 Using Lm and Mm, metallic Ni, granular Sn, and one of Mn, Co, V, and Al as the A element of general formula (2)
The elements were added and treated in the same manner as in Production Example 1.
LmNi 4.4 Sn 0.1 Mn 0.5 , LmNi 4.4 Sn 0.3 Co 0.3 and for comparison MmNi 4.65 Sn 0.3 V 0.05 , MmNi 4.6 Sn 0.2 Al 0.2
were manufactured respectively. The pulverized product produced above was sealed in a reaction container, and the inside of the container was replaced with hydrogen gas at room temperature.
Activate as hydrogen pressure of Kg/cm 2 . Next, after exhausting the occluded H2 ,
Measure the storage and release amount of H2 and its equilibrium pressure,
The results shown in Table 1 were obtained.
