Historical performance of nickel/cadmium and nickel/metal hydride geosynchronous-orbit packs and determination of voltage/temperature levels for advanced nickel/cadmium designs

Oxidation of Nickel in AlCl3-1-Butylpyridinium Chloride at Ambient Temperature

“…Nickel compounds have been expected to be one of the cathode active materials for high energy batteries. Nickel oxyhydroxide, for example, has been used as a cathode active material for commercial nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries 9 and also investigated as cathode active materials for other high energy batteries such as zinc-nickel batteries. 10,11 Nickel compounds are also expected to be cathode active materials for high energy batteries having nonaqueous electrolytes.…”
