The present invention relates to a hydrogen storage alloy, an electrode for a Ni-MH battery, a secondary battery, and a method for preparing the hydrogen storage alloy. The chemical composition of the hydrogen storage alloy is expressed by the general formula LaCeZrSmNiCoMnAl, where x, y, z, u, v, w are molar ratios, and 0.14≤x≤0.17, 0.02≤y≤0.03, 4.60≤z+u+v+w≤5.33, 0.10≤u≤0.20, 0.25≤v≤0.30, and 0.30≤w≤0.40. The atomic ratio of the metal lanthanum (La) to the metal cerium (Ce) is fixed at 3.0 to 3.2, which satisfies the requirements of the overcharge performance of the electrode material. A side elements are largely substituted by samarium (Sm) element, that is, the atomic ratio of Sm on the A side is 25.6% to 42%, so as to solve the problem of shortened cycle life caused by the small amount of cobalt (Co) atoms. The equilibrium pressure is adjusted by the change in the ratio of Sm to La and Ce to satisfy the requirements of the charge and discharge dynamic performance of the electrode material. The nucleation rate of the solidification process is improved by the addition of zirconium (Zr) to the A side at an atomic ratio of 2% to 3%. The Ni-MH battery negative-electrode material obtained from the hydrogen storage alloy has high overcharge resistance, and good high-rate discharge performance and cycle stability.

Generating plasma by using dielectric barrier discharge and introducing a dielectric barrier discharge electrode bar into a high-speed vibrating ball milling tank requires that, on one hand, a solid insulation medium on the outer layer of the electrode bar can simultaneously bear high-voltage discharge and mechanical shock failure of the grinding ball, and on the other hand, the high-speed vibrating ball milling device can uniformly process the powder. The discharge space pressure is set to a non-thermal equilibrium discharge state with a pressure of about 10to 10Pa, discharge plasmas are introduced to input another kind of effective energy to the processed powder, so as to accelerate refinement of the powder to be processed and promote the alloying process and improve the processing efficiency and the effect of the ball mill.
