“…The main downside of NiFe is its relatively low energy density (30-50 Wh kg -1 ), however in a stationary utility application such as this energy density plays a secondary role to lifetime, robustness and safety. [1] Equation 1 gives the half-cell reaction at the cathode and equation 2 gives the reaction at the anode. Discharging is read left to right and charging is read right to left.…”

“…Nickel based chemistries have reasonable lifetimes in terms of calendar life and cycle life however toxicity issues with NiCd make that unattractive. In fact currently the only battery technology available with a 25 year calendar life are NiFe cells similar to those originally produced by the Edison storage company in 1903 (1). NiFe cells are tolerant of overcharge and deep discharge, contributing to safety and lifetime.…”

Nickel based battery chemistries still have a place in stationary energy storage applications such as in back up accumulator storage for photovoltaic devices, owing to the long lifetimes and relative safety of these technologies. In this study rapid Near Infrared (NIR) radiative heating is used to sinter electrode pastes into plaques in 10’s of seconds as opposed to 10’s of minutes via traditional convection sintering routes. This step change reduction in processing time is useful in enabling rapid roll-to-roll manufacture of large-scale electrodes. In order to avoid difficulties associated with controlled atmospheres, reducing agents were added to the electrode pastes. Sintered plaques were characterized using typical physical techniques such as SEM/EDX, XRD and BET but scanning electrochemical techniques, more typical in corrosion studies, have also been used to investigate current densities and spatially resolved surface potential maps and identify how regions of varying thickness effect rate capability.

Utility scale electrochemical energy storage will become an important topic as countries across the globe set targets for electricity generation from renewable sources. Much current research is focused on improving energy density for portable electronic devices or electric vehicles. In distributed photovoltaic generation applications energy storage is required due to the intermittent nature of the electricity supplied. In these situations space and weight is at less of a premium so lifetime and safety should be the driving factors of development. Currently nickel based battery technologies offer long cycle lives. There are a number of cathode configurations available, from the earliest pocket plate designs to sintered plates and fiber plates. In this work these electrodes have been evaluated for use in nickel based battery chemistries with a particular emphasis on manufacturability. Sintered electrodes can be produced on a roll to roll production line which is an attractive way of cutting manufacturing costs at the scale required for large scale domestic electricity storage. Sintered plates can also improve fast rate discharge characteristics and energy density.
