The electrochemical properties of the intercalation compounds cobalt hydroxide–aluminium hydroxide and nickel hydroxide–aluminium hydroxide

Abstract

The intercalation of Al(OH)₂NO₃ into the layer structure of M(OH)₂(M = Co or Ni) forms M₄Al(OH)₁₀NO₃, in which Co on charging attains an oxidation state of +3.7 and Ni +3.9; the changes and improvements in the electorchemical properties of M₄Al(OH)₁₀NO₃ Compared with M(OH)₂ electrodes are described.
