摘要
In this work,we synthesized LaFeO_3–xwt%Ni(x=0,5,10,15)composites via a solid-state reaction method by adding Ni to the reactants,La_2O_3 and Fe_2O_3.Field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS)results revealed that Ni powders evenly dispersed among the LaFeO_3 particles and apparently reduced their aggregation,which imparted the composites with a loose structure.Moreover,the Ni formed a conductive network,thus improving the conductivity of the composites.The maximum discharge capacity of the LaFeO_3 electrodes remarkably increased from 266.8 mAh·g^(–1)(x=0)to 339.7 mAh·g^(–1)(x=10).In particular,the high-rate dischargeability of the LaFeO_3–10wt%Ni electrode at a discharge current density of 1500 mA·g^(-1) reached 54.6%,which was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the pure LaFeO_3.Such a Ni-modified loose structure not only increased the charge transfer rate on the surface of the LaFeO_3 particles but also enhanced the hydrogen diffusion rate in the bulk LaFeO_3.
