Improvement And Its Mechanism Of Storage Performance Of Ni-Mh Battery, Xiao-Feng Li Nov 2004

Improvement And Its Mechanism Of Storage Performance Of Ni-Mh Battery, Xiao-Feng Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

The storage performance of nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-MH) battery was studied by using galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. The experimental results indicated that CoOOH could not be completely restored after its being thoroughly reduced at lower potential, which might weaken electric conduction network in the positive electrode and result in fading of electrochemical properties of Ni-MH battery. Addition of nickel powder as a conductive agent into the positive electrode was beneficial to the capacity recovery after storage.
