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.
