Abstract

A hydrogen storage alloy electrode for a battery is made of a hydrogen storage alloy powder which includes agglomerates of hydrogen storage alloy particles joined together through a metallic layer. A method of making the electrode includes forming agglomerates of hydrogen storage alloy particles joined together by a metallic layer which covers surface portions of the particles, and then forming the electrode using a resulting powder including the agglomerates.
