The rate of oxygen recombination (i.e., reduction) on plastic-bonded cadmium electrodes in sealed Ni-Cd systems can be controlled over a wide range by doping the negative active material with Ni(OH),, FeaOb or carbon black. The highest recombination rate was attained by combining all these additives

✦ Synopsis
The oxygen recombination (reduction) rate on plastic-bonded cadmium electrodes in sealed Ni-Cd systems can be increased by using metal screens applied to the gas side of the plastic-bonded cadmium electrode.
The metal screen applied should have an optimum geometry (mesh size, wire diameter) to provide optimum conditions for the existence of a uniform electrolyte film covering the total screen surface. The oxygen recombination rate in such a case is high enough to enable this type of cadmium electrode to be used in practical sealed cells.
No major differences between steel and nickel screens were noticed, but with a silver plated screen a substantially enhanced oxygen recombination rate was observed.

It was found that the rate of reduction of oxygen on plastic-bonded cadmium electrodes doped with Nl(OH), is highest when the added nickel amounts to 0.3%.
