Abstract

The thermodynamic parameters of LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 and LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Fe0.75 alloys have been evaluated from the electrochemical isotherms determined by OCV method. A comparative study has been done between the parameter values deduced from the electrochemical OCV method and the solid–gas method. It was found that the difference can be explained by the electrochemical corrosion of these alloys in aqueous KOH electrolyte. The corrosion behavior of the LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 and LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Fe0.75 electrodes after activation was investigated using the method of the potentiodynamic polarization. The evolution of corrosion current density and potential values as function of the state of charge (SOC), show that the total substitution of cobalt by iron leads to accentuate the corrosion process.
