The structure and property of the modifiedb-Ni(OH)2 with CuO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infra-red (FT-IR), Raman and thermal gravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) techniques. The results of the FT-IR spec-troscopy and TG-DTA indicate that the modifiedb Ni(OH)2electrode materials contain intercalated water molecules and anions. A pastedetype electrode was prepared using nickel hydroxide
