Electrochemical and morphological study of the effect of temperature on the restructuring and loss of capacity of alkaline battery electrodes

Alkaline battery electrode restructuring is being studied using ac impedance and ellipsometric techniques. Porous electrodes have been modeled as transmission lines, and the electrochemical properties (e.g., impedance and voltage drop in the pores) of the electrodes are being derived in terms of measurable physical properties. 5 refs.
