Abstract
The performance of a sealed prismatic prototype Ni-MH battery having a Mg-N i-Y-Al alloy anode was investigated. The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The laboratory tests run on this prototype batter y as well as the single electrode was compared. The electrochemical behavio r was determined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The ba ttery has a good dischargeability but a high self-discharge rate during sto rage at open-circuit state. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reser ved.
