NICKELOXID/WASSERSTOFFZELLEN MIT IN DEN DIFFUSIONSKOERPER INTEGRIERTEN NEGATIVEN ELEKTRODEN

摘要

The heat transfer in a nickel-oxide/hydrogen battery cell is substantially improved by increasing the thermal conductivity in the axial direction of the electrode stack. This improvement in thermal conductivity is due principally to the construction of the negative electrode containing catalyst as an integral part of the gas diffusion element, thus reducing the number of components in an electrode unit of the battery stack from six to four.
