Nickelhydroxidewasusedasthepositiveelectrodematerialinrechargeablealkalinebatteries,whichplaysasignificantroleinthefieldofelectricenergystoragedevices.β-nickelhydroxide(β-Ni(OH)_2)waspreparedfromnickelsulphatesolutionusingpotassiumhydroxideasaprecipitatingagent.Pureβ-phaseofnickelhydroxidewasconfirmedfromXRDandFT-IRstudies.TheeffectsofTiO_2additiveontheβ-Ni(OH)_2electrodeperformanceareexamined.ThestructureandpropertyoftheTiO_2addedβ-Ni(OH)_2werecharacterizedbyXRD,TG-DTAandSEManalysis.Apasted–typeelectrodeispreparedusingnickelhydroxidepowderasthemainactivematerialonanickelsheetasacurrentcollector.Cyclicvoltammetryandelectrochemicalimpedancespectroscopystudieswereperformedtoevaluatetheelectrochemicalperformanceoftheβ-Ni(OH)_2andTiO_2addedβ-Ni(OH)_2electrodesin6MKOHelectrolyte.Anodic(Epa)andcathodic(Epc)peakpotentialsarefoundtodecreaseaftertheadditionofTiO2intoβ-Ni(OH)_2electrodematerial.Further,additionofTiO_2isfoundtoenhancethereversibilityoftheelectrodereactionandalsoincreasetheseparationoftheoxidationcurrentpeakoftheactivematerialfromtheoxygenevolutioncurrent.Comparedwithpureβ-Ni(OH)_2lectrode,TiO_2addedβ-Ni(OH)_2electrodeisfoundtoexhibithigherprotondiffusioncoefficient(D)andlowerchargetransferresistance.ThesefindingssuggestthattheTiO_2addedβ-Ni(OH)_2electrodepossessimprovedelectrochemicalpropertiesandthuscanberecognizedasapromisingcandidateforthebatteryelectrodeapplications.
