Abstract:

A pilot plant operation for producing nickel hydroxide electrodes for use in satellite battery cells is described. Reproducibility, loading level dependence on process time, formation procedure and degree of plate swelling as a function of loading level are discussed. Analytical procedures for both electrode and impregnation solution are given. The process offers considerable savings in time over conventional processes with remarkable electrode reproducibility.
