The invention relates to the field of
hydrogen storage
alloy materials, in particular to an
yttrium-
scandium-iron
alloy material and an
yttrium-
titanium-
scandium-iron
alloy material. The chemical general formulas of the
yttrium-
scandium-iron alloy material and the yttrium-
titanium-scandium-iron alloy material are respectively Y<1-x>ScxFe2 and Y<1-x-y>TiyScxFe2, wherein x is greater than or equal to 0.1 and is less than or equal to 0.5, and y is greater than or equal to 0.1 and is less than or equal to 0.2. The invention also discloses the preparation methods of the yttrium-scandium-iron alloymaterial and the yttrium-
titanium-scandium-iron alloy material. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: weighing and mixing
metal block materials according to the
mass ratio of the general
chemical formula,
smelting at the temperature of higher than 1,600 DEG C, and cooling to obtain an alloy
ingot; placing and sealing the alloy
ingot in an annealing container, and vacuumizing theannealing container; placing the annealing container under preset conditions for sealing, and taking out an alloy block from the annealing container after cooling; and crushing the alloy block into apowder state, thereby obtaining the alloy material. The alloy material provided by the invention has a stable structure, high
hydrogen storage capacity, low
hydrogen absorption temperature, excellenthydrogen absorption and
desorption performances, and a significantly improved
dehydrogenation performance, and is beneficial to the further practical application of the alloy material in the hydrogenstorage field and the
nickel-hydrogen battery field.
