The rapid development of new energy vehicles promotes the demand and research for the vehicle energy storage materials. TiFe-based hydrogen storage alloys have characteristics such as hydrogen absorption and desorption ability at room temperature, high reversible hydrogen storage capacity, wide operational temperature range, environmental protection, low raw material cost and so on. They not only can storage hydrogen by electrochemical reactions, but also can react with gaseous hydrogen directly and form metal-hy- drides, which are important materials of vehicle energy storage equipment for the hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel-cell powered and burning hydrogen in internal combustion engines vehicles. This paper reviewed the main vehicle energy storage technologies including electrochemical energy storage (lithium-ion battery, nickel-hydrogen battery and lead-acid battery), high-pres- sure container energy storage and low-pressure container energy storage technologies for the existing type new energy vehicles. The working principle of the above energy storage technologies were introduced in detail, and the advantages and disadvantages of them for applying in vehicle energy storage system were discussed. By comparing the existing vehicle energy storage techniques, this paper ana- lyzed the application superiority and prospect of the TiFe-base alloys in the field of vehicle energy storage systematically, brought for- ward the performances need to be improved, such as the active performance, the anti-poisoning performance and the reversible electro- chemical capacity, and summarized the domestic and international related research progress.
