Nickel battery systems compete directly with the lead acid battery in many commercial energy storage applications and with Li-Ion in portable electronic applications. The family of nickel batteries is based on the utility, strength, and reversibility of the nickel electrode reactions in alkaline media.
These chemistries are prized by EV manufacturers for their ability to deliver extended range and performance. According to Adamas Intelligence, nickel use in EV batteries has seen a marked increase, with each battery EV (BEV) containing an average of 25.3 kilograms.
The rapid development of electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices requires multi-functional materials. Nickel (Ni)-based materials are regarded as promising candidates for EES devices owing to their unique performance characteristics, low cost, abundance, and environmental friendliness.
The increase in nickel content in nickel-rich materials leads to higher battery capacity, but inevitably brings about a series of issues that affect battery performance, such as cation mixing, particle microcracks, interfacial problems, thermal stability, and safety.
Nickel is indispensable in lithium-ion battery production, especially in high-performing cathode chemistries like nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA). These chemistries are prized by EV manufacturers for their ability to deliver extended range and performance.
The nickel metal hydride battery was introduced commercially in 1989. The technology is based on the development of rare earth alloys with nickel that have the ability to reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen. The nickel metal hydride (MH) electrode replaces the cadmium electrode in the Ni-Cd cell construction.
