Performance of suspension-impregnated sintered nickel composite electrodes
Direct impregnation for the development of a porous, sintered, nickel-plated graphite fiber plaque by fine particulate Ni(OH)2 is examined. The suspension impregnation method is described, noting that the entire process can be carried out in a very short time. The use of a cobalt additive to improve utilization and the life cycle of nickel electrodes is mentioned. It is found that the suspension method of active material impregnation has potential to produce high energy density, electrically durable, light weight nickel composite electrodes. It is also found that excellent life cycle durability results are obtained with the suspension-impregnated composite electrode. Finally, the electrochemical process, an alternative method of active material Ni(OH)2 impregnation, is mentioned.
