A detailed electrochemical evaluation of Sn‐modified was performed to evaluate its performance as a negative electrode in alkaline rechargeable cells. Substituting small amounts of Sn for Ni provides a large improvement in the initial capacity and cycle lifetime of the electrode, and also serves to improve the kinetics of hydrogen absorption‐desorption processes.
