Researchers at Jilin University in China have proposed a new strategy for designing hydrogen storage alloys with high capacity and long cycling life to improve the discharge capacity and cycling life of nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Their candidate alloy—La 0.62 Following this strategy, a new AB 4.5 —Wang et al.

They attributed this as being likely due to the prohibitively large ionic radius of the sodium ion (1.02 Å) as compared to the Li ion (0.76 Å); insertion of Na ion therefore requires large distortion of the metal oxide lattice, which would require unacceptably elevated temperatures not realistic for the operation of batteries.

In reality, existing, proven NiMH batteries, such as found in hybrids and BEVs could easily power PHEVs. However, automakers would like to switch from NiMH to Li-Ion batteries for PHEVs because they are lighter, smaller, and potentially cheaper. more ) T he good news is this.
