Abstract
The multicomponent hydrogen storage alloy with composition MmNi3.31Mn0 .37Al0.28Co0.64 was used as a negative electrode material. After packi ng the alloy particles in a porous nickel substrate, press forming was carried out to bond them. The effects of particle size and forming pr essure on electrode performance were examined in 6 M KOH solution. The electrochemical properties of the negative electrode, such as dischar ge capacity and high-rate dischargeability, were remarkably improved b y increasing the alloy particle size and forming pressure.
