Nickel hydroxide electrodeposition from nickel nitrate solutions: Mechanistic studies

摘要

Nickel hydroxide electrodeposition by cathodic reduction of nitrate ions follows an electrochemical (EC) reaction followed by an irreversible chemical reaction mechanism. On subsequent cycling, the electrodeposited nickel hydroxide undergoes a reversible redox reaction. The mechanistic behavior of the nickel hydroxide electrodeposition from nickel nitrate solutions is investigated.
