“…Usually, the stabilized aNi(OH) 2 can be prepared by doping metal elements in nickel salt solution, such as Al [5e8], Mn [9,10], Zn [11], Cu [12], Fe [13], Yb [14], Y [15], while the prepared sample is b-Ni(OH) 2 without doping metal elements. Recent studies have shown that the structural stability and electrochemical performance for multi-doped a-Ni(OH) 2 are better than that for mono-doped a-Ni(OH) 2 [16]. In order to improve properties of nickel hydroxide, numerous studies have been carried out by partial substitution of Ni ion by two elements ions, such as AleY [17], CoeZn [18], AleCu [19], AleCo [20].…”
