In　this　paper,　the　effect　of　temperature　on　the　electrochemical　performances　of　Ti0.17Zr0.08V0.35Cr0.10Ni0.30　alloy　electrode,　especially　the　electrochemical　kinetics,　is　investigated　systematically.　It　is　found　from　XRD　result　that　the　alloy　mainly　consists　of　two　phases:　V-based　solution　phase　with　BCC　structure　and　C14　Laves　phase　with　hexagonal　structure.　The　charge-transfer　resistance　(R-ct)　and　the　exchange　current　density　(I-0)　of　the　alloy　electrode　are　evaluated　from　the　results　of　electrochemical　impedance　spectroscopy　(EIS)　in　the　temperature　range　from　293　to　323　K　at　different　charge-discharge　cycles.　The　charge-transfer　resistance　(R-ct)　decreases　and　the　exchange　current　density　(I0)　increases　with　increasing　temperature,　which　indicates　that　the　electrochemical　reaction　activity　of　the　alloy　electrode　increases　with　the　increase　of　temperature.　Moreover,　the　apparent　activation　energy　Delta　H　for　the　charge-transfer　reaction　at　the　electrode　surface　is　determined　from　the　charge-transfer　resistance　data　at　different　temperatures,　which　is　decreased　with　increasing　cyclic　number　during　charge-discharge　process.　(c)　2008　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
