Preferably, the crystal structure of the hydrogen storage alloy is a body centered cubic structure.
In the composition of the hydrogen storage alloy, the mole fraction of Ti is 3.5 to 5 parts, for example, 3.5 parts, 3.8 parts, 4 parts, 4.3 parts, 4.5 parts, 4.8 parts or 5 parts, but not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values in the numerical range are equally applicable.

Illustratively, the tabletting of step (1) of the present invention results in a mixed metal ingot.
In the invention, the formula raw materials are subjected to tabletting treatment, so that the activation difficulty of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy can be reduced; because the melting point of Mo in the raw material is higher and the melting point of M is lower, the metal with low melting point is easy to volatilize by directly smelting the raw material, so that M cannot play the role of the hydrogen storage alloy, and the problem of difficult activation cannot be solved.

Preferably, the number of times of smelting in step (1) is 3-5, and may be 3 times, 4 times or 5 times, for example.
In the invention, because the melting point of Mo in the raw material is higher, 3-5 times of smelting are needed to realize the alloying process of the multi-element alloy; when the number of times of melting is 1 or 2, there is a variation in melting, resulting in deterioration of the hydrogen storage performance of the resulting hydrogen storage alloy; when the number of times of smelting is more than 5, the hydrogen storage performance is deteriorated due to the severe volatilization of the low melting point metal M, and the energy waste is serious.

As can be seen from comparison of examples 5, 6 and 4, the melting point of Mo in the raw material is higher, and 3-5 times of smelting are needed to realize the alloying process of the multi-element alloy in the invention; when the number of times of melting is less than 3, there is a variation in melting, resulting in deterioration of the hydrogen storage performance of the resulting hydrogen storage alloy; when the smelting times are higher than 5 times, the hydrogen storage performance is not obviously improved, and the energy waste is serious.
As is clear from a comparison between example 7 and example 1, too high relative pressure of the inert atmosphere during the tube sealing treatment in the invention also affects the hydrogen storage performance, because the annealing temperature is higher, the pressure in the quartz tube is too high, the quartz tube is easy to break, the sample is oxidized during annealing, and the hydrogen storage performance is poor.
As can be seen from a comparison of the embodiment 8 and the embodiment 1, the annealing time is too long to cause new thermal stress, and the phenomena of recrystallization, grain growth and the like may occur, so that the improvement of the hydrogen absorption and desorption platform of the alloy is not obvious, and the maximum hydrogen absorption amount and the effective hydrogen desorption amount are affected.
As can be seen from comparison of comparative example 1 and example 1, the hydrogen storage alloy is obtained by optimally designing the raw material components, wherein M is Ce and/or Ca, and the M is metal which is easy to hydrogenate, so that the activation performance of the hydrogen storage alloy can be obviously improved, and the problem of difficult activation of the hydrogen storage alloy is solved; when the metal M is not added, the resulting hydrogen storage alloy cannot be activated at normal temperature.
As can be seen from the comparison of the comparative example 2 and the example 1, the invention can reduce the activation difficulty of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy by tabletting the formula raw materials; because the melting point of Mo in the raw material is higher and the melting point of M is lower, the metal with low melting point is easy to volatilize by directly smelting the raw material, so that M cannot play the role of the hydrogen storage alloy, and the problem of difficult activation cannot be solved.
Fig. 1 is a graph showing the normal temperature activation performance of the hydrogen occluding alloys obtained in example 1, example 4, comparative example 1 and comparative example 2, and it can be seen that the hydrogen occluding alloys obtained in example 1 and example 4 can be activated at normal temperature after being tabletted and M is added during the preparation process, whereas the normal temperature activation cannot be achieved without adding M to the raw material in comparative example 1, and the normal temperature activation cannot be achieved without tableting in comparative example 2.
As can be seen from comparison of comparative examples 3 to 5 with example 1, as the annealing temperature decreases, when the annealing temperature is lower than 1350 ℃, the stress of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy decreases less, so that the hydrogen absorption and desorption platforms of the obtained alloy are inclined, resulting in a decrease in both the maximum hydrogen absorption amount and the effective hydrogen desorption amount; when the annealing temperature is higher than 1450 ℃, the temperature resistance limit of the quartz tube is exceeded, and the as-cast alloy obtained in the step (1) is easily oxidized, so that the obtained hydrogen storage alloy has no performance. Therefore, the annealing temperature in the step (2) is controlled within the range of 1350-1450 ℃, which is beneficial to improving the capacity of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy and optimizing the hydrogen storage performance.
Fig. 2 is a comparison of PCT curves of the hydrogen storage alloys obtained in example 1, example 4 and comparative example 3, and it can be seen that the hydrogen storage alloys provided in example 1 and example 4 have a plateau pressure of about 0.2MPa, whereas the hydrogen storage alloys obtained in comparative example 3 have a lower annealing temperature, and the alloy stress is less significant, so that the hydrogen absorption and desorption plateau of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy is still inclined, thereby reducing the maximum hydrogen absorption and effective hydrogen desorption.
In summary, the invention provides a hydrogen storage alloy and a preparation method thereof, and the hydrogen storage alloy is obtained by optimally designing all raw material components, wherein M is Ce and/or Ca, and the M is metal easy to hydrogenate, so that the activation performance of the hydrogen storage alloy can be obviously improved, and the problem of difficult activation of the hydrogen storage alloy is solved; the formula raw materials are subjected to phase regulation and control by smelting, annealing and other methods, so that the capacity of the obtained hydrogen storage alloy is improved, the cycle performance of the hydrogen storage alloy is optimized, and the hydrogen storage alloy has the characteristics of simple preparation method and low cost.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that fall within the technical scope of the present invention disclosed herein are within the scope of the present invention.
