METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OXIDE-NICKEL PLATE FOR ALKALI STORAGE CELL Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; manufacture of pocketless-plate alkali cells. SUBSTANCE: method involves filling porous baked nickel base with required amount of active material by impregnating it with nickel nitrate solution, drying, treatment with alkali solution, rinsing, drying, and heat treatment; the latter is conducted under conditions encouraging loss of plate mass from 1 to 10% which is calculated from expression K = M₁-M₂/M₁-M₀•100%, where M₀, = 100%; K is loss of plate mass due to heat treatment, M₁ and M₂ is plate mass before impregnation, after impregnation, and after heat treatment, respectively. EFFECT: reduced labor consumption and material input.
