Abstract
Publications and patents over recent decades on the use of hydrogenating alloys as an active material for nickel-metal hydride batteries that have successfully replaced ecologically harmful nickel-cadmium batteries are reviewed. It is shown that the main direction of scientific research into the preparation of alloys with a high electrochemical capacity, cycle life, and chemical activity towards hydrogen, is the development of multicomponent alloys by alloying whose principles are formulated in this communication.
