La0.6Gd0.2Mg0.2Ni3.15-xCo0.25Al0.1Mnx(x=0–0.3) hydrogen storage alloys are prepared by induction melting followed by annealing treatment at 1173K for 8hours and the effects of partial substitution Mn for Ni on the phase structures and electrochemical properties are studied. The phase structure analyses show that (La, Mg)2Ni7 phase with Ce2Ni7-type structure, (La, Mg) Ni3 phase with PuNi3-type structure and LaNi5 phase with CaCu5-type structure are the main phases. The increase in Mn content results in the expansion of the lattice parameters and the cell volumes of the alloys. The electrochemical analyses show that a proper amount of Mn substitution for Ni (x=0.1) can increase the maximum discharge capacity and improve the cyclic stability of the alloy electrodes. Additionally, the kinetic properties of the alloy electrodes are improved because of the lower charge transfer resistance on alloy surface and the faster hydrogen diffusion rate in alloy bulk after Mn partial substitution for Ni.
