HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOY ELECTRODE AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a hydrogen storage alloy electrode capable of increasing the initial discharge capacity of a battery, and reducing the number of cycles necessary for initial activation. CONSTITUTION:Hydrogen storage alloy powder or an electrode made of the powder is immersed and treated in solution comprising lithium aluminum hydride, lithium borohydride or aluminum borohydride dissolved in an organic solvent. A hydrogen storage alloy electrode comprises hydrogen storage alloy particles treated with an agent available from that process.
