Problems solved by technology

For this reason, when using such a hydrogen-absorbing alloy to make a hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode and using the hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode as a negative electrode in a nickel-hydrogen secondary battery, there is a problem that the initial activity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode decreases, Hydrogen cannot be fully absorbed; the initial capacity of the nickel-hydrogen secondary battery decreases, and the pressure in the battery increases due to hydrogen, etc.
[0007] However, there is a problem that the initial activity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy cannot be sufficiently increased if the active sites appearing on the surface of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy are oxidized again.
In this way, there are still such problems: in the initial stage, the hydrogen gas cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, the initial electric capacity is low, and the pressure in the battery is increased, etc.
[0008] In addition, conventional hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrodes using hydrogen-absorbing alloys also have the following problems: their electrochemical catalytic performance at low temperatures is insufficient, and their discharge characteristics are also poor when used at low temperatures.
