LaNi₅₋ₓGeₓ Electrodes for Ni/MH Electrochemical Cells

Experiments have shown that improved hydride-forming negative electrodes for rechargeable nickel/metal hydride (Ni/MH) electrochemical cells can be made by substituting Ge for some of the Ni in LaNi5. A similar discovery regarding the substitution of Sn for some of the Ni was reported in the preceding article.
