ELECTRODES, ALKALINE SECONDARY BATTERY, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALKALINE SECONDARY BATTERY

摘要

An alkaline secondary battery and methods of making said battery, the battery comprising a positive electrode (2) containing nickel hydroxide having a value of 0.8 DEG or more in the half-width of a peak in the (101) plane thereof as measured by X-ray powder diffraction (2&thetas;) using Cu-K alpha ray and at least one alkali metal selected from the group consisting of cesium, rubidium and potassium; and an alkali electrolyte, the ratio of which to theoretical capacity of the positive electrode being 0.7 to 1.3 cm<3>/Ah.
