Ni-MH cell is the abbreviation for nickel hydrogen cell, which is a recyclable battery. The positive active substance of a nickel hydrogen battery is Ni (OH)2, the negative active substance is metal hydride, and the electrolyte is a 6mol/L potassium hydroxide solution. Having 30% more battery capacity than nickel cadmium batteries, lighter than nickel cadmium batteries, longer service life, and no pollution to the environment, it is known as the most environmentally friendly battery. According to usage, it can be divided into: civilian consumer batteries, standard industrial batteries, power type batteries, high-temperature batteries, wide temperature batteries, and low self-discharge batteries.

Electrochemistry:

The chemical reactions of charge and discharge are as follows:

• Positive electrode: Ni (OH) 2+OH -=NiOOH+H2O+e-

• Negative electrode: M+H2O+e -= MHab +OH-

• Total reaction: Ni (OH) 2+M=NiOOH + MH

(M: Hydrogen-absorbing Alloy)
