HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOY ELECTRODE, BATTERY INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE BOTH

摘要

A hydrogen storage alloy electrode comprising a hydrogen storage alloy (3) and a conductive metal (4) and completely free of organic binder is disclosed, wherein at least two layers of an active material holding layer and a conductive metal layer essentially are integrated into an electrode sheet having a conductive network communicating throughout the electrode. The electrode can be used in a nickel-metal hydride storage battery, for example, particularly exhibits high efficiency charge/discharge characteristics while satisfying general characteristics as a battery, and has a relatively low cost and facilitates recycling.
