XRD analysis results showed that Mg_2Ni and Mg phases were detected in the XRD pattern of the Mg_(23)Ni_(10) alloy, however, the La addition results in conversion from Mg to LaMg_3 and La_2Mg_(17) phases and appearance of crystal defects included dislocations, twin grain boundary and vacancy in the Mg_(22)LaNi_(10) and Mg_(21)La_2Ni_(10) alloy textures. The total maximum hydrogen absorption capacity was 4.45 wt% for the Mg_(23)Ni_(10) alloy, however, the Mg_(22)LaNi_(10) and Mg_(21)La_2Ni_(10) alloys with vacancy, dislocations and twin grain boundary, absorbed 3.66 wt% and 3.60 wt%, respectively, indicating that the La addition led to decreasing of the maximum hydrogen absorption capacity. Besides, hydrogen absorption/desorption of 90% of saturated state expended for about 456 and 990 s for pristine Mg_(23)Ni_(10) alloy, by contrast, the time decreased owing to improvement of hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics in the alloy with La element, with which the uptake time for hydrogen content to 90% of saturated state was 150 and 78 s, and 90% hydrogen can be released in 930 and 804 s for Mg_(22)LaNi_(10) and Mg_(21)La_2Ni_(10) alloys in the experimental condition.展开更多
