UN PROCEDIMIENTO PARA DEPOSITAR ELECTROLITICAMENTE HIDROXI-DO DE CADMIO SOBRE UN SOPORTE ELECTRICAMENTE CONDUCTOR.

摘要

A process for producing negative active mass suitable for use in nickel-cadmium cells or similar cells or batteries which comprises electrically depositing cadmium hydroxide from an electrolyte containing cadmium cations and reducible anions such as nitrate anions and a small proporation of nickel cations. The negative active mass thus produced contains about 1 percent to about 10 percent of nickel, has excellent initial capacity and exhibits excellent retention of capacity after electrochemical cycling.
