Abstract
Nickel hydroxide powder is prepared by chemical precipitation method, and the effect of synthesis temperature on the phase structure and electrochemical performances of nickel hydroxide is investigated. The phase structure is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the electrochemical performances are characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and charge/discharge tests. The XRD results show that low temperatures (0–20 °C) induce the precipitation of badly crystallized nickel hydroxide while at high temperatures (40–60 °C) crystallized β-nickel hydroxide is formed. Electrochemical performance tests show that the nickel hydroxide synthesized at low temperature has better electrochemical reversibility, lower electrochemical reaction impedance, and higher discharge capacity than that of the nickel hydroxide synthesized at high temperature.
