Abstract: Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) of RE(NiCoMnTi)5 alloys (RE=La,Ce,Pr,Nd) were measured and analyzed under different depths of discharge (DOD).The results reveal that at different phase areas,such as β,α＋β and α,the alloy shows quite different characteristics in their discharge kinetics. At the same DOD of 50％,the surface hydrogen adsorbing resistance Rsf and Faraday resistance RF of the four alloys represent an approximate linear relationship to their the maximum discharge capacity C50,max and the high-rate-dischargeabi-lity κ respectively,indicating the alloy with a higher Rsf and RF will have a larger capacity and better dischargeability.
