Abstract
A preliminary evaluation was made of the cathodic discharge of nickel sulfides in electrolyte. Theoretical energy densities of approximately 400–700 whr/lb are calculated, depending on the choice of the specific nickel sulfide. The nickel sulfides tested had solubilities in the charged and partially discharged state. High coulombic efficiencies (>50%) were achieved at 1 ma/cm2. A discharge of 10 ma/cm2 could be sustained, but at a lower efficiency. The discharge plateau is between 1.8 and 1.4v.Keywords
