    摘要: A hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode utilizes as an electrode material a hydrogen-absorbing alloy having selectively oriented crystals, which is expressed in terms of a specific maximum value obtained from analysis of powder X-ray diffractometry. This electrode, in which the hydrogen-absorbing alloy used is hardly pulverized upon repeated charge-discharge cycles and oxidation thereof is suppressed, gives metal hydride alkaline secondary batteries having excellent cycle characteristics. A method for evaluating hydogen-absorbing alloys for electrode comprises, utilizing the fact that there exists a clear relationship between specific parameters obtained by analyzing data based on the hydrogen-absorbing alloy to be evaluated and the characteristics of the electrode obtained therefrom, preparing and using analytical curves with the specific parameters. This method can evaluate rapidly and precisely various characteristics of hydrogen-absorbing alloys for electrode, without actually fabricating test cells therefrom.

    摘要: A fuel cell system for directly converting chemical energy of a fuel into electric energy electrochemically. A fuel cell has a cathode and an anode. A main hydrogen absorbing alloy supplies a hydrogen gas to the anode of the fuel cell during steady-state operation of the system. An auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy originally having a higher hydrogen gas absorbing/desorbing equilibrium pressure than the main hydrogen absorbing alloy at an equal temperature supplies a hydrogen gas to the anode until the equilibrium pressure of the main hydrogen absorbing alloy, which is supplied an exhaust gas from the fuel cell is equal to a hydrogen gas absorbing/desorbing equilibrium pressure of the auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy, the auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy receiving the hydrogen gas from the main hydrogen absorbing alloy during steady-state operation.

    摘要: The plateau region of P-C-T isotherm of a hydrogen absorbing alloy between the .alpha. phase region and .beta. phase region thereof is expressed by a normal cumulative distribution function wherein hydrogen content X is taken as frequency and the logarithm of equilibrium hydrogen pressure as a random variable. Parameters such as standard deviation .sigma. of the function are determined by numerical analysis based on measured data as to the equilibrium hydrogen pressure and hydrogen content of the plateau region of the alloy to be evaluated. Whether the equilibrium characteristics of the alloy are acceptable is determined using the parameters as evaluation criteria.
