To improve the high-temperature performance of the nickel hydroxide electrodes in nickel -metal hydride batteries, sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) used as an electrolyte additive has been added into two types of binary electrolytes (KOH-LiOH and NaOH-LiOH) in this study. The effects of electrolyte composition on the electrochemical performance of nickel electrodes have been systematically investigated via a combination of cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and charge/discharge tests. It is found that by adding (1.0 wt.%) Na2WO4, the performance of nickel electrodes is significantly improved in both NaOH and KOH electrolytes at 70 degrees C. The improved performance can be attributed to the deposition of WO3.2H(2)O solid film on the surface of nickel electrode, which is beneficial to the increase in oxygen evolution overpotential, the slow-down of oxygen evolution rate and the decrease in charge-transfer resistance.
