Abstract
The present invention provides an improved hydrogen storage alloy of Ti--V--Ni system having a body-centered cubic structure. The alloy is of the general formula Ti.sub.x (V.sub.a Cr.sub.1-a).sub.1-x M.sub.b Ni.sub.c, wherein M represents at least one element of La and Ce or a mischmetal, and wherein 0.5.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.0.95, 0.01.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.1, 0.1.ltoreq.c.ltoreq.0.6, and 0.2.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.4; or Ti.sub.x V.sub.y M.sub.z Ni.sub.1-x-y-z, wherein M represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Fe, Cu, and Ag, and wherein 0.2.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.4, 0.3.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.7, 0.1.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.0.3, and 0.6.ltoreq.x+y+z.ltoreq.0.95.
