$TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~1.00)계 합금을 제조하고, 합금의 특성을 X-ray diffractometer (XRD), pressure composition temperature (PCT)곡선, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)에 의해 조사하였고, $TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~1.00)-stainless steel (SS) 복합막에 대해 $H_2-N_2$ 혼합기체분리실험을 하였다. X-선 회절분석에 의하면 $TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~1.00)계 합금의 결정구조는 TiCo와 같은 입방정구조이었다. $TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~1.00)계 합금은 $120^{\circ}C$에서 hysteresis현상을 나타내었고, 합금 중 Fe의 양이 증가함에 따라 x=0.90~1.00과 0.50~0.55 범위에서는 hysteresis가 증가하였고, x=0.55~0.90 범위에서는 감소하였다. 가장 작은 hysteresis를 나타낸 합금은 $TiCo_{0.55}Fe_{0.45}$이었다. $120^{\circ}C$에서 $TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~1.00)-SS 복합막의 수소투과압력의 최저값은 $TiCo_{0.55}Fe_{0.45}$에서 2.5 atm을 나타내었고, 최대값은 $TiCo_{0.90}Fe_{0.10}$에서 10 atm을 나타내었다. $TiCo_xFe_{1-x}$(x=0.50~.00)-SS 복합막에 의하여 $120^{\circ}C$에서 $H_2-N_2$ 혼합기체를 분리하는 경우, 가장 우수한 복합막은 고압부의 수소투과압력이 2.5 atm으로 가장 낮고, hysteresis가 가장 작은 $TiCo_{0.55}Fe_{0.45}$-SS 복합막이었다.

There are two types of metal hydride electrodes as a negative electrode in a Ni-MH battery, $AB_2$ Zr-based Laves phases and $AB_5$ LM(La-rich mischmetal)-based alloys. The $AB_5$ alloy electrodes have characteristic properties such as a large discharge capacity per volume, easiness in activation, long cycle life and a low cost of alloy. However they have a relatively small discharge capacity per weight. The $AB_2$alloy electrodes have a much higher discharge capacity per weight than $AB_5$ alloy electrodes, however they have some disadvantages of poor activation behavior and cycle life. Therefore, in order to improve the discharge capacity of the $AB_5$ alloy electrode the Zr, Ti and V which are the alloying elements of the $AB_2$ alloys were added to the $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}$ alloy which was chosen as a $AB_5$ alloy with a high capacity. The addition of Zr, Ti and V to $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}$ alloy improved the activation to be completed in two cycles. The discharge capacities of Zr 0.02, Ti 0.02 and V 0.1 alloys in $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}M_y$ (M = Zr, Ti, V) were respectively 346, 348 and 366 mAh/g alloy. The alloy electrodes, Zr 0.02, Ti 0.05 and V 0.1 in $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}M_y$ (M = Zr, Ti, V), have shown good cycle property after 200 cycles. The rate capability of the $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}M_y$ (M = Zr, Ti, V) alloy electrodes were very good until 0.6 C rate and the alloys, Zr 0.02, Ti 0.05 and V 0.1, have shown the best result as 92 % at 2.4 C rate. The charge retention property of the $LaNi_{3.6}Ai_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}M_y$ (M = Zr, Ti, V) alloys was not good and the alloys with M content from 0.02 to 0.05 showed better charge retention properties.

The characteristics of hydrogen storage have been investigated in the Ti-Cr-Mo and Ti-Cr-V ternary alloys with bcc structure. The alloys were melted by arc furnace and remelted 4-5 times for homogeneity. The lattice parameters, microstructures and phases of the alloys were examined by SEM, EDX and XRD, and the Pressure-Composition isotherms of the alloys were measured. From these data the relationship of the maximum and effective hydrogen storage capacities vs. chemical composition, lattice parameter and the radius of tetrahedral site were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that all of these alloy, in the range of the this study, had mainly bcc solid solutions with small amount of Ti segregation due to a lower melting point of Ti compared with other elements. Lattice parameters of the alloys were very near to the atomic average values of lattice parameters of the constituent elements. It was also found that maximum hydrogen storage capacities of the Ti-Cr-Mo alloys increased with increasing Ti content and the radius of tetrahedral site but the effective hydrogen storage capacities decreased after showing the maximum. The hydrogen storage capacities of the Ti-Cr-V alloys were almost same even though the V contens were quite different from alloy to alloy and this could be attributed to the almost same Ti/Cr ratio of the alloys. The maximum effective hydrogen storage capacity of the Ti-Cr-Mo alloys was revealed at Ti content of about 40${\sim}$50 at% and radius of tetrahedral site of 0.43${\sim}$0.45 nm. The Ti-Cr-V alloys showed the hydrogen storage capacities of 3.0 wt% and effective hydrogen storage capacities of 1.5 wt%.
