Nickel(III) Oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) as a Positive Electrode Material in Primary Cells

近年来，由于复杂的便携式电子设备的发展，对电池的需求已经增加。由于目前可用的原电池系统发现难以科普这些需求，因此存在开发具有适当能力的改进系统的相当大的动机。该项目的重点是氢氧化镍（III）作为阴极材料。NiOOH广泛用于可充电电池系统，即使在恶劣的放电条件下也能充分发挥作用。然而，在原电池系统中，NiOOH遭受自放电。该项目旨在通过研究提高其稳定性的方法，在主系统中使用NiOOH的性能。Delta EMD的好处将是保护其现有业务，并为先进出口材料的商业制造打开大门。

In recent years, the demands put on batteries has increased due to the development of sophisticated portable electronic devices. With the currently available primary battery systems finding it difficult to cope with these demands, there is considerable incentive to develop an improved system with an appropriate capability. This project focuses on nickel(III) oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) as a cathode material. NiOOH is used widely in rechargeable battery systems, where it performs adequately even under severe discharge conditions. However, in primary battery systems, NiOOH suffers from self discharge. This project aims to use the performance capabilities of NiOOH in a primary system, by investigating ways to improve its stability. The benefits for Delta EMD will be protection of their existing business, as well as opening the door to the commercial manufacture of an advanced export material.
