Exceptional Electrochemical Activities Of Amorphous Fe-B And Co-B Alloy Particles Used As High Capacity Anode Materials, Ya-Dong Wang, Xin-Ping Ai, Han-Xi Yang
Journal of Electrochemistry
Ultrafine amorphous alloy particles (UAAP) of Fe-B and Co-B were synthesized and tested for possible use as electroactive anode materials. It is found that unlike their parent elements, the alloy particles of transition metal (TM) and boron, the Fe-B and Co-B showed superior electrochemical activities when used as anodic materials in aqueous alkaline solution. The discharge capacities of Fe-B and Co-B electrodeswere observed to be 1 200 mAh/gand 1 100 mAh/gat moderately high rate of 100 mAh/g, respectively, much higher than the theoreticalcapacity of currently used zinc metal (820 mAh/g). The exceptional high capacities of the boride alloys were probably …
