✦ Synopsis
The development of sintered iron electrodes for the Ni-Fe battery is mainly aimed at increasing the discharge capacity and minimising selfdischarge. Electrodes were prepared by either introducing additives into the iron powder before sintering or adding to powder before pressing. To evaluate the self-discharge characteristics, electrochemically-impregnated additives were studied by chronopotentiometry to determine the discharge behaviour and open-circuit-potential recovery transients of iron electrodes in the Ni-Fe cell. Mercury and sulphur benefit the iron electrode by increasing the discharge capacity and retarding the formation of FeOOH.
