Abstract
Nickel hydroxide electrodes serve as positive electrodes in several batteries including nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries. Nickel hydroxide slurries are coated onto platinum electrodes and allowed to dry either with or without an external magnetic field. Once dried, the external magnet is removed. Films are also formed that incorporate chemically inert, silaneshrouded magnetite microparticles. Magnetized films exhibit larger cyclic voltammetric currents than corresponding nonmagnetized films. Magnetized films generate currents that are 1.25 to 1.79 times that of nonmagnetized films containing no microparticles. Results are consistent with a magnetically facilitated increase in charge and discharge rates.
