Nickel electrode for alkaline storage battery and alkaline storage battery

摘要

A nickel electrode for an alkaline storage battery employed as a positive electrode of an alkaline storage battery is formed by applying a paste containing active material particles composed of nickel hydroxide to a conductive substrate and drying said paste, wherein a conductive layer consisting of cobalt oxide containing sodium is formed on a surface of said active material particles, and niobium powder and/or niobium compound powder is added to the surface of said active material particles.
