    Effect of cobalt electroless deposition on nickel hydroxide electrodes
    (Elsevier, 2014-02-21) Ortiz, Mariela; Castro, Élida Beatriz; Real, Silvia
    The effects of cobalt additive on the positive electrode surface of nickel alkaline batteries are investigated. Electrode surface modifications by electroless cobalt deposits were made at different immersion times. The performance of nickel hydroxide electrodes was studied by optical techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and electrochemical methods as cyclic voltammetry, charge discharge curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). According to these results, electroless cobalt deposits obtained with 5 min of immersion time in the electroless-bath exhibit a better electrode performance.

    Preparation and characterization of positive electrode of NiMH batteries with cobalt additives
    (Elsevier, 2014-02-18) Ortiz, Mariela; Real, Silvia; Castro, Élida Beatriz
    The present paper shows the preparation and characterization of alkaline batteries cathodes formed by nickel hydroxide with the addition of cobalt. This additive was incorporated by two methods: on the electrode surface, using the electroless technique and by direct incorporation of cobalt powder in the active material. The electrochemical behavior of both nickel hydroxide electrodes was investigated and compared. The results indicate that active materials containing cobalt additive by the electroless technique exhibit an improvement on the electrochemical performance.
