We found that an AAA-type battery (min. 750 mAh) pressurized with Ar or N2 at pressures of up to 5 MPa exhibited a significant durability enhancement even under high-current conditions. As an example of a charge-discharge cycle test at 3 amperes, the residual ratio of capacity at atmospheric pressure decreased to approximately 90% of the standard capacity before 50 cycles. However, at a pressure of 3 MPa of N2, the capacity remained at more than 90% until 180 cycles. With an increase in the pressure, the residual ratio of capacity was further improved. It has been considered that, at the positive electrode of the Ni-MH battery, the chemical reaction from nickel(II) hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) crystals to nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH) crystals occurs during the charging process. However, X-ray diffraction (XRD) results in the present study do not support this solid-solid reaction between these two types of crystal. To address this contradiction, we propose a different reaction mechanism by introducing the concept of non-crystalline fine particles of compounds, which are undetected by XRD. This mechanism clearly explains how the pressure affects the durability improvement. Pressurized batteries, which are capable of fast charge-discharge operation under high-current conditions, can provide a new route for application fields of unconventional energy storage.
