Nickel-based batteries mainly refer to nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), and nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries. Ni-Cd batteries consist of a positive electrode with nickel oxyhydroxide as active material, and a metallic cadmium-based negative electrode with aqueous potassium hydroxide as electrolyte (Shukla et al., 2001).
To ensure proper battery operation, an excess of zinc must be supplied due to the continuous consumption of zinc metal through the hydrogen precipitation process. In sealed batteries, corrosion causes hydrogen to precipitate, increasing pressure within the battery case.
