Nickel hydroxide-graphite intercalation compounds (Ni(OH)(2)-GICs) was synt
hesized in this work. The structure and electrochemical behavior was studie
d with different techniques. It was found that the electron exchange number
of Ni(OH)(2)-GICs can be up to two per mole Ni(OH)(2). The formation of Ni
(OH)(2)-GICs not only increases the capacity of Ni(OH)(2), but also improve
s the electrochemical performance of active material Ni(OH)(2). (C) 1999 El
