Separators for nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries
The redox shuttles include (a) metal ions present in different oxidation states like cobalt, or manganese, respectively, which are released from the electrode materials , , and (b) the so-called “nitrite/nitrate–ammonia-shuttle” the latter case, which has major influence on self-discharge, nitrogen-containing impurities are oxidized at the charged nickel
