Catherino, H A

The addition of 0.1 to 5 percent Ni(OH)/sub 2/ to the anode material of an alkaline battery helps maintain the rechargeability of the anode for many cycles. Typical anode material consists of up to /sup 1///sub 3/ Cd particles 5 to 10 ..mu..m in diameter, with the remainder almost entirely CdO. About 1 percent Ni(OH)/sub 2/ and 1 percent Teflon are added. Charge retention capacity is improved about 25 percent with the addition of nickel hydroxide. (RWR)
