摘要 |
A positive electrode for use in alkaline rechargeable electrochemical cells comprising: a material comprising a compositionally and structurally disordered multiphase nickel hydroxide host matrix which includes at least one modifier chosen from the group consisting of F, Li, Na, K, Mg, Ln, Se, Nd, Pr, Y, Co, Zn, Al, Cr, Mn, Fr, Cu, Zn, Sc, Sn, Te, Bi, Ru and Pb. A process for forming a high loading uniformly distributed multiphase substantially nitrate free sintered positive electrode for use in an alkaline rechargeable electrochemical cell, the process comprising: (1) fabricating sintered electrode material by forming a slurry of nickel powder, water, carboxy methyl cellulose binder, methyl cellulose binder, and a poly(ethyleneoxide) polymer, spreading the slurry on a preoxidized perforated nickel substrate; drying the slurry; and sintering the slurry; (2) impregnating the sintered electrode material using multiple impregnation cycles to attain high loading. |
