Self-Discharge Model of a Nickel-Hydrogen Cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of the self-discharge process of a nickel-hydrogen cell is presented. The model includes three electrochemical reactions on the nickel electrode (reduction of nickel oxyhydroxide, oxidation of hydrogen, and oxidation of hydroxyl ion to form oxygen) and two electrochemical reactions on the hydrogen electrode (reduction of oxygen and oxidation of hydrogen). The self-discharge pressure profile of the nickel-hydrogen battery that consists of two characteristic regions is explained reasonably well with the model. The model can be used to predict the capacity retention of a nickel-hydrogen cell during open-circuit conditions at different temperatures. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society. S0013-4651(99)08-010-6.

Modeling of a Nickel-Hydrogen Cell: Phase Reactions in the Nickel Active Material
A nonisothermal model of a nickel-hydrogen cell has been developed with the consideration of multiple phases in the nickel active material. Important mechanisms inside a nickel-hydrogen cell, such as mass balances of active species, kinetics of electrochemical reactions, and the energy balance of the whole cell, etc., have been included in the model. The model predictions under different condit...
متن کاملRole of estuarine natural flocculation process in removal of Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn
The flocculation of dissolved heavy metals is a process which has an important effect on decreasing the concentration of the colloidal elements during estuarine mixing of river water and sea or ocean water. During this important process, a large amount of colloidal elements change into particles in the form of flock and the dissolved loads decline. This study is performed to evaluate the mechani...

In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method. The prepared electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis. Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...
متن کاملActivation of Autophagy by Metals in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Autophagy is an intracellular self-degradation pathway by which eukaryotic cells recycle their own material in response to specific stress conditions. Exposure to high concentrations of metals causes cell damage, although the effect of metal stress on autophagy has not been explored in photosynthetic organisms. In this study, we investigated the effect of metal excess on autophagy in the model ...
متن کاملKinetic Behavior of Metal Hydride Electrode by Means of AC Impedance
A mathematical model f or the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a metal-hydride electrode was developed. The model was used to study the effect of various parameters on predicted kinetic behavior. The simulations obtained using the model show that the first arc appearing in the higher frequency range is due to a charge-transfer reaction, the second arc in the middle frequency range repr...
