Nickel Hydroxide Battery Electrode Development

Abstract

The report terminates the work on a three-year program aimed at the development of an improved nickel hydroxide electrode for the use in rechargeable alkaline batteries for aerospace applications. The improvements sought were primarily concerned with achieving a better nickel electrode performance with respect to energy density, charge efficiency, and capacity reproducibility. The problems and improvements are discussed. An electrodeposition process was developed.
