Study of hydride materials by acoustic emission : Application to Ni-MH batteries
Abstract
The pulverization (cracking) of active materials in batteries, induced by their volume change during charge/discharge cycles, accentuates their corrosion by the electrolyte and/or leads to a loss of electronic connectivity within the electrode, which notably reduces their cycle life. This particularly occurs for metallic hydrides used in Ni-MH batteries. To date, the evaluation of their cracking is generally limited to post mortem observations of the electrodes by microscopy, which does not allow for a detailed analysis of the decrepitation process. In this respect, one of our main research objectives was to develop an innovative and efficient analysis method based on acoustic emission (AE) for in situ monitoring of the cracking of negative electrodes for Ni-MH batteries. As a first step, a detailed analysis of the acoustic signals generated during the charge (hydriding) of a commercial LaNi5-based alloy and a MgNi alloy obtained by mechanical alloying was performed. This allowed separating the signals generated by the cracking of the metallic hydride particles from those induced by the formation of H2 bubbles. We have shown that the mechanism which governs the pulverization of the MgNi alloy remarkably differs from that of the LaNi5-based alloy. In a second step, an experimental set-up made of an electrochemical cell linked to a compression force cell and an AE equipment was elaborated, in order to monitor concomitantly the cracking and the force generated by the expansion/contraction of the MgNi and LaNi5 during cycling. We have thereby been able to confirm that the volume expansion/contraction of the MgNi alloy is more progressive than that of the LaNi5 alloy. The AE-based comparative study of MgNi, Mg0.9Ti0.1NiAl5 and Mg0.9Ti0.1NiAl0.05 alloys then allowed demonstrating the positive effect of the partial Mg substitution by Ti and adding of Al on the alloy decrepitation resistance. As a final step, we have studied the impact of palladium addition in the Mg0.9Ti0.1NiAl0.05 alloy on its electrochemical behaviour and cracking resistance.
