Nickel—iron battery

Electrochemistry and Kinetics. The electrochemistry of the nickel—iron battery and the crystal stmctures of the active materials depends on the method of preparation of the material, degree of discharge, the age (Life cycle), concentration of electrolyte, and type and degree of additives, particularly the presence of lithium and cobalt. A simplified equation representing the charge—discharge cycle can be given as ... [Pg.552]

Probably the best-known battery system using an iron anode is called the nickel/iron battery. It should be written (-) Fe / KOH / NiO(OH) (+), having its merits as a heavy-duty accumulator [7], By... [Pg.197]

The nickel-iron battery has an iron anode, an NiO(OH) cathode, and a KOH electrolyte. This battery uses the following half-reactions and has an E° value of 1.37 V at 25°C ... [Pg.813]

The Edison or nickel-iron battery, which uses KOH as the electrolyte, is based on the reaction... [Pg.846]

Nickel-Iron Battery In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery. [Pg.394]

In 1859, the French scientist Gaston Plants (1834-1889) made the first prototype of a lead acid rechargeable battery. An alkaline nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery was developed in 1899 by the Swedish engineer W. Jungner (1869-1924) and an alkaline nickel-iron battery was developed two years later by the well-known American inventor Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931). Up to the seventh decade of the nineteenth century, electrochemical batteries remained the only sources of electrical current and power. [Pg.9]

Batteries are known for about 100 electrochemical systems. Today, many of them are of mere historical interest. Commercially, batteries of less than two dozens of systems are currently produced. The largest production volumes are found in just three systems primary zinc-manganese batteries (today with an alkaline electrolyte, in the past with a salt electrolyte), rechargeable lead acid batteries, and rechargeable alkaline (nickel-cadmium, nickel-iron) batteries. Batteries of these systems have been manufactured for more than a century, and until today are widely used. [Pg.11]

Both the positive and negative tubular and pocket current collectors are made of perforated nickel-plated steel. They are very robust and are virtually indestructible. The low energy density, poor charge retention, and poor low temperature performance, along with high cost of manufacture, have led to a decUne in use of the nickel-iron battery system. The negative electrode, or anode, is iron and the positive... [Pg.427]

The nickel-iron battery cell fabrication process is essentially unchanged in over 50 years. Special attention must be paid to use high purity materials and particle size characteristics of the active materials. The iron negative active material is made from pure iron that is dissolved in sulfuric acid. The resulting Fe(S04>2 is recrystallized and dried. This is washed free of sulfuric acid and roasted at 915°C to form a mixture of FeaOs and Fe metal and is, then, blended with small amotmts of FeS, sulfur, and HgO for use in the negative plate assembly. [Pg.429]

Only about 6% of the produced nickel is applied for the production of nickel compounds. An important one is nickel hydroxide [Ni(OH)2], which is used for nickel-cadmium and nickel-iron batteries. For the production of catalysts the hydroxide, nitrate, sulfate, formate, and carbonate of Ni are used. In the pigment industry nickel oxide, hydroxide, and phosphate are applied and for electroplating nickel sulfate, sulfamate, and tetrafluoroborate are used. [Pg.507]

Nickel iron batteries were developed by Edison, and were commonly known as the Edison cells. Of all batteries, perhaps the Nickel Iron can claim to be the most rugged and reliable as well as being virtually indestructible. In the 1920 s and 30s these batteries were found everywhere, and when the need arose for heavy water during the Manhattan project, the electrolyte from thousands of these batteries were used as an enriched source. The cell reaction is given below ... [Pg.548]

For instance, the nickel-iron battery, invented almost at the same time (Edison, 1901) as the nickel-cadmium battery, has a poor charge efficiency, which causes excessive heating and hydrogen release. Another example is nickel-zinc technology, for which further study seems necessary, because it is subject to the formation of dendrites which limit its lifetime. [Pg.373]

Thomas Alva Edison invented the alkaline nickel-iron battery at the beginning of the 20 century. Iron is the negative pole, nickel oxide the positive. One cell has a voltage of 1.15 V. Several cells, connected in series, were used in industrial applications and for emergency power. The battery Hfe was restricted to about 10 years. [Pg.480]
