  • Cadmium negative electrode
    Patent number: 4414303
    Abstract: The invention comprises an improved cadmium negative electrode which is less prone to fading, can easily be manufactured by a pasting technique, and which does not require any external cycling to develop a precharge. This is accomplished by the use of irregular knarled cylindroidal cadmium particles of an average size ranging from 8 to 25 microns as measured by a Fisher Subsieve Sizer. The irregular knarled cylindroidal shape of the particles provides a substantial improvement pyrophoric characteristics while stilll providing electrochemical activity within a nickel-cadmium cell.
