alloy was purchased from Whole Win (Beijing) Materials Sci and Tech. com., Ltd. The nanocrystalline alloy was
obtained by grinding the alloy powder in sonicatore under different periods. Particle size distribution, surface morphology
and structure were studied by laser diffraction, SEM and XRD respectively. The surface area measured by BTU method. The
hydrogen storage properties were examined by PCT measurement. The enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) of the alloy indicate that the
thermodynamic performance of the nanocrystalline alloy is improved by increasing surface area and diffusion ability of hydrogen in
the nanocrystalline microstructure. Short diffusion path of hydrogen in the nanocrystalline microstructure, resulting in better overall
hydrogen storage properties, improved the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation reactions of the nanocrystalline alloy. The obtained
hydrogen storage capacity was 4.23% (mass fraction), and the amount of hydrogen desorption was 3.74%.
