Nickel Cadmium Batteries >>
Structure Ni-Cd batteries are comprised of a positive electrode plate which uses nickel oxide as its main active material, a negative electrode plate that uses a cadmium compound as its main active material, a separator, an alkaline electrolyte, a metal case, and a sealing plate equipped with a self-sealing safety valve. The positive and negative electrode plates, isolated from each other by the separator, are rolled in a spiral shape inside the case and sealed by the sealing plate using an insulation gasket.
Charge / Discharge Reactions The charge and discharge reactions of Ni-Cd batteries are shown below.
A notable characteristic of this reaction is that the alkaline electrolyte, for example potassium hydroxide (KOH), does not appear to contribute to the reactions. The battery is designed so that the capacity of the negative electrode is greater than that of the positive electrode, and the gas generated at the positive electrode is absorbed by reacting with the uncharged section of the negative electrode, thus enabling the battery to be completely sealed. In this design ,the reaction is as follows.
