The effect of Ce on the properties of nickel hydroxide electrode

Effect of cerium element which was mixed with Ni(OH) 2 by incorporation and co precipitated as additive on properties of nickel electrode were studied. The experimental results were analyzed by means of cyclic voltammetry. The results show that nickel electrodes with incorporated directly display excellent charge discharge behaviour. by contrast nickel electrodes co precipitated with cerium can not effectively improved the properties. The results of cyclic voltammetry shows that the reversibility of nickel electrode with cerium incorporated is improved as well as the transportation ability of H +, thus the properties is better.
