An active material for a nickel electrode includes a double hydroxycarbonate having the formula Ni1-2xM2x(OH)2(CO3)xxnH2O, where 0.05<x<0.2, 0.05<n<4, and M is a Group IIIB element and containing 1-40 at % of a III B group element in a solid solution, based on the weight of nickel, and 1-20 wt % of a conductive enhancer which is at least one substance selected from the group consisting of Co and cobalt compound, based on the weight of the double hydroxycarbonate, so that a nickel electrode having a high capacity, increased life time, high charge/discharge velocity and enhanced utility of the active material can be produced. Alkaline secondary cells can be manufactured using the nickel electrode. |
