The Mitsui Mining and Smelting Company has developed a hydrogen storage alloy material that has minimized cobalt (Co) content.
The material is not susceptible to grain size reduction and has exhibited excellent hydrogen storage characteristics. The material also exhibits excellent initial activity, which is an important characteristic for use in a battery, and also has high discharge characteristics, which are important in electric tools, and low-temperature characteristics for use in hybrid electric vehicles.
Nickel-hydrogen storage batteries (secondary batteries) with a hydrogen storage material in the anode have recently been attracting attention as ...
