Elektrode aus einer wasserstoffabsorbierenden Legierung für eine alkalische Metall/Hydridbatterie

摘要

A hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode for metal hydride alkaline batteries is obtained by coating or filling a collector with a hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder consisting essentially of spherical particles and/or nearly spherical particles and then sintering the powder, the powder having an average particle diameter of 30 to 70 mu m and containing 5 to 30% by volume of particles having a diameter of at least 2 times the average diameter and 10 to 40% by volume of particles having a diameter of not more than 1/2 of the average diameter. This electrode can give metal hydride alkaline batteries having excellent high-rate discharge characteristics and a long life. $$
