Abstract
A hydrogen hydride battery including a stack of like cells. Each cell includes novel positive cathode and negative anode electrodes. The negative anode electrodes include micro-porous carbon aerogel structures of randomly disposed interengaged carbon fibers in three-dimensional reticulate form and a hydrogen-absorbing metal alloy structure throughout and conforming generally to and carried by the micro-porous carbon aerogel. The positive cathode electrodes include micro-porous carbon aerogel structures of randomly disposed interengaged carbon fibers in three-dimensional reticulate form that are impregnated with nickelous hydroxide throughout and conforming generally to and carried by the micro-porous carbon aerogel. Central electrolyte separators established of a suitable porous dielectric material, is positioned between positive and negative electrodes.
