Nanocrystalline Mg2Ni doped alloys are good materials for hydrogen storage. In this work we present the influence of the chemical disorder on the electronic structure of Mg2Ni1-xCux alloys for 0 < x < 0.2. The electronic structure was calculated by ab initio full potential scalar relativistic local-orbital method in the coherent potential approximation. We observe the change of the density of states near the Fermi energy.
