Disclosed is a nickel positive electrode for a fiber battery having a long life duration, and also being enabling a high output and high capacity to be attained. For this purpose, the nickel positive electrode for a fiber battery is obtained by coating a carbon fiber with nickel, then causing a cathodic polarization in a nickel nitrate bath using the nickel-coated carbon fiber as a cathode, and then immersing the precipitate, which was deposited on the surface of the carbon fiber by the cathodic polarization, in an aqueous caustic alkali solution.

摘要:
A cell capable of being charged/discharged at high rate wherein a molded piece of a positive electrode active material is placed in an electrolytic solution in one of two cells interconnected through a separator, a molded piece of a negative electrode active material is placed in an electrolytic solution in the other cell, and current collectors are disposed in the cells. Conventionally, active materials having the same charging/discharging characters have been used. Therefore, high-rate chargeable/dischargeable cells having a small cell capacity but capable of being charged/discharged with large current and low-rate chargeable/dischargeable cells capable of being charged/discharged with small current and having a large cell capacity have been separately produced, and therefore there have been problems such as the one that there have been no cells capable of being charged/discharged with large current and having a large cell capacity. According to the invention, a combination of at least two kinds of active material molded pieces having different charging/discharging characteristics is used for at least either the positive or negative active material and placed in one cell, thereby solving the above problem.
