The effect of encapsulation of LaNi4.5Co0.5 powdered hydrogen storage material with ≈0.5 µm thick, magnetron-sputtered amorphous film of TiCrFeCoNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) on functional hydrogenation parameters of the hydride electrode is discussed. The multicycle galvanostatic charge/discharge tests carried out in deaerated, 6 M KOH solution allow for determining specific capacity decrease, exchange current density of the H2O/H2 system, and high rate discharge ability (HRD) of the hydride electrodes. Concentrations of individual constituents of the HEA in the particle coating determined by EDS analysis were practically the same (≈20 at.%) as in the applied TiCrFeCoNi target material. The XRD phase analysis pointed out the amorphous structure of the HEA coating. The presence of HEA coating decreases capacity by 10–15 per cent, but increases exchange current density for H2O/H2 system. The effect of HEA on capacity fade is ambiguous: low for 10–25 cycles (most probably due to effective corrosion inhibition) and distinct at long-term cycling (most probably due to galvanic effects resulting from mechanical degradation of particle surface). The presence of HEA coating considerably improves the HRD of the electrode material: for a discharge rate of 5C, the HRD coefficient becomes 4.6 times greater for HEA modified storage material.
