摘要： In the non-sintered nickel electrode for an alkaline storage battery according to the invention, a yttrium metal powder and/or a yttrium compound powder has been added to a particulate active material comprising composite particles each consisting of a nickel hydroxide core and a sodium-doped cobalt compound shell. Because the yttrium metal powder and/or yttrium compound powder inhibits the diffusion of cobalt into the nickel hydroxide core, the non-sintered nickel electrode of the invention exhibits a high utilization efficiency not only in an initial phase of charge-discharge cycling but over a long time of use. Moreover, because the yttrium metal powder and/or yttrium compound powder enhances the oxygen overpotential, the non-sintered nickel electrode for an alkaline storage battery according to the invention shows very satisfactory charge characteristics particularly at high temperatures.

摘要： A battery module has a plurality of electrically connected unit cells fixed in a container. A buffer member is provided at the void between the inner wall of the container and the unit cell. By virtue of the buffer member in the battery module formed of a heat conductive elastic body, the requirement of vibration resistance can be met by the buffer member while the heat generated by the unit cell can be easily discharged via the buffer member. Thus, a battery module suppressed in degradation of the performance of the unit cell caused by heat can be provided.

摘要： The invention provides a hydrogen absorbing alloy electrode obtained by the step P1 of preparing a hydrogen absorbing alloy powder containing cobalt and nickel, the step P2 of subjecting the surfaces of the alloy particles to a reduction treatment with high-temperature hydrogen by holding the powder in a high-temperature hydrogen atmosphere under the conditions of temperature, pressure and time sufficient to reduce oxides formed in a surface layer portion of each of the alloy particles, not melting the alloy particles and not permitting the alloy particles to absorb hydrogen, the step P3 of treating the resulting powder with an acid or alkali by immersing the powder in an acid or alkaline aqueous solution, followed by suction filtration, washing with water and drying, and the step P4 of applying the resulting power to an electrically conductive substrate and shaping the substrate in the form of the electrode. The electrode thus provided has higher activity than conventionally.
