Abstract: Manganese-doped Ni1-xMnx(OH)2 (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) was prepared by buffer solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements showed that the samples were mainly composed of β phase when x=0.1 and 0.2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements and nitrogen adsorption-desorption showed that the Mn doped samples were finer and more porous than commercial β-Ni(OH)2 samples without Mn. The constant current charge-discharge tests show that the material of Ni0.8Mn0.2(OH)2 exhibited a high specific discharge capacity of 288.8 mAh·g-1 at 800 mA·g-1 when the specific discharge capacity of commercial β-Ni(OH)2 was 198.7 mAh·g-1. In addition, the electrodes have excellent cycle performance. When the Mn content x is 0.2, the material maintained a specific discharge capacity of 276 mAh·g-1 after circulating 580 cycles at 800 mA·g-1 with an attenuation rate of 4.1%, the attenuation rates of the others were 46.1% (commercial β-Ni(OH)2), 13.0% (x=0.1), 22.6% (x=0.3) and 34.1% (x=0.4). This indicated that Mn doped Ni(OH)2 can improve the cycling stability of nickel electrodes at high current density, and greatly reduce the cost of nickel electrodes.
