Popis: The alloy TiFe is widely used as hydrogen storage material. However, the first hydrogenation is difficult. It was found that the addition of zirconium greatly improves the kinetic of first hydrogenation, but the mechanism is not well understood. In this paper, we report the use of scanning photoemission microscopy to investigate the composition and chemical state of the various phases present in this alloy and how they change upon hydrogenation/dehydrogenation. We found the presence of different oxide phases that were not seen by conventional SEM investigation. The nature of these oxides phases seems to change upon hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycle. This indicates that oxide phases may play a more significant role in the hydrogen absorption as what was previously believed.
