Abstract
Battery electrodes, such as those having nickel hydroxide as electrochemically active material, may be produced according to the invention by reducing the electrodes after normal impregnation processing is completed to remove residual nitrate in the impregnated electrode. The alkali metal hydroxide electrolyte utilized in this reduction may be reused up to 7 to 10 times. The reduced electrodes can be used directly to assemble batteries or may be processed further by a formation and characterization electrolytic cycling of charge and discharge. The alkali metal hydroxide electrolyte utilized in this characterization may be reused up to 22 times.
