Abstract

Nickel hydroxide is widely used as an active material in Ni-Cd and Ni-MeH batteries. The electrochemical properties such as charge acceptance, electronic conductivity etc. can be dramatically influenced by doping β-Ni(OH)2 with small amounts of Co, Cd or Zn. Stabilizing of α-Ni(OH)2 offers the possibility to obtain nickel electrodes with enhanced capacity. The stabilizing of α-Ni(OH)2 is achieved by replacing at least 20% of the nickel by a trivalent metal ion.

The structural features of the undoped and doped nickel hydroxides and the resulting electrochemical properties are discussd and reviewed.
