Development of uniform and predictable battery materials for nickel--cadmium aerospace cells. Quarterly report, 8 March--7 June 1970

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7212624
The impregnation of nickel plaque to form nickel--cadmium battery plates was studied. The chemical conversion of the nitrates to the hydroxides and the Fleischer method were examined. The variables considered were solution concentration for chemical conversion, current density for the Fleischer method, and the loading for both methods. The plates were examined in terms of uniformity and reproducibility of weight gain, capacity, and utilization. It was concluded from the experimental data that more uniform and reproducible plates were prepared by the chemical conversion process.
