The nickel-iron battery construction is shown in Figure. A Nickel-Iron cell has two plates. The active material of the positive plate is Ni (OH) 4 and the negative plate is of iron (Fe). The electrolyte is a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a small addition of lithium hydrate (LiOH) which increases the capacity of the cell.
Nickel-based batteries were invented in the 19th century and since then many advancements are carried out to improve this technology. Porous nickel electrode is used in these for the deposit of active materials. Types of the Ni-based batteries are given below. Fig. 6.10 shows the schematic of Nickel-based battery using cadmium. Figure 6.10.
Since a single cell produces a very low amount of current and voltage, many cells are connected in series and parallel to increase current and voltage rating of a nickel-iron battery respectively. When the battery is fully charged, its positive plate is of Ni (OH) 4 and its negative plate is of iron (Fe).
The open-circuit voltage of the nickel–iron battery is 1.4 V. The battery nominal voltage is 1.2 V, the maximum charging voltage is usually between 1.7 and 1.8 V. The capacity of the nickel–iron battery depends on the capacity of the positive electrode, so the length and number of each positive plate determines the capacity of the battery .
Nickel–iron batteries manufactured between 1972 and 1975 under the "Exide" brand originally developed in 1901 by Thomas Edison. The nickel–iron battery (NiFe battery) is a rechargeable battery having nickel (III) oxide-hydroxide positive plates and iron negative plates, with an electrolyte of potassium hydroxide.
