Abstract

An improved electrode for an alkaline storage battery can suppress the reduction of the battery capacity when the battery is used in a high-temperature environment. The electrode is formed by charging or filling a collector, which consists of a porous body of a nickel-boron alloy containing 0.001 to 3 percent by weight of boron, with an active material. The porous body of the nickel-boron alloy can be formed by depositing nickel on a surface of a substrate consisting of a porous polymer by electroless plating with a boron compound serving as a reductant.
