The results show that the stoichiometric ratio has great effects on the electrochemical properties of alloys. And the effects were investigated in detail. When stoichiometric ratio x ＜5.3, the activation performances of alloys are all good. But when stoichiometric ratio x ＞5.3, the activation performances are decreased evidently. When stoichiometric ratio x ＜5.3, the discharge capacities of alloys are linearly increased with the increase of stoichiometric ratio. When stoichiometric ratio x ＞5.3, the discharge capacities of hydrogen storage alloys decrease linearly
