摘要
NiOOH was prepared by one-step electrolysis of spherical Ni(OH)2 and the effects of electrolysis parameters were examined. The highly pure NiOOH was obtained after electrolysis at a current density of 60mA.g^-1 and 30℃ with anodic potential controlled in the range of 1.73-1.85V (vs. Zn/ZnO) for 360min. The NiOOH samriles were characterized bv X-ray oowder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis.Resuits indicate that the electrolysis product is spherical NiOOH doped with graphite. Charge and discharge tests show that the prepared NiOOH offers a discharge capacity of over 270mAh·g^-1 at current density of 30mA·g^-1 and can be directly used as cathode material of alkaline Zn/NiOOH batteries. Galvanostatic charge/discharge and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests reveal good cycling reversibility, of the NiOOH electrode.
