important to put as many nickel hydroxide particles as possible into a given sub-
strate, and improve its utilization. Such new electrodes are used for high-capacity
nickel–cadmium batteries.
As mentioned above, nickel–cadmium batteries have excellent characteristics
and are used in diverse fields. Special-purpose batteries (Figure 2.14) comply
effectively with the requirements for improvement of various devices, for example,
high-capacity, fast-charge, high-temperature, heat-resistant, memory backup.
