MgNi and MgNi-CoSi were synthesized by mechanical alloying. The structural and electrochemical properties of the materials were investigated systematically. The results of structural test show that MgNi-CoSi has a better amorphous structure than MgNi. Charge-discharge studies show that the maximum discharge capacities of the alloy electrodes decrease but the cycle stabilities are improved remarkably with the introduction of CoSi. MgNi-CoSi which MA 10 h, performs the best among the as-prepared materials, the discharge capacity retention ratio is 57.6% at cycle 30, and that of MgNi is only 22.2%. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and liner polarization studies indicate that the electrochemical kinetics of MgNi is improved by CoSi. Potentiodynamic polarization curves show that the rate of corrosion of the MgNi-CoSi decreases. In conclusion, CoSi adding is an effective way to improve the cycle life of MgNi.
