    NiCd batteries

    haha well thank you, perhaps it's the wrong forum, but i'm trying to build a battery to supplement my electronic engines, based off nickel cadmium, i figure this would be a good way to at least see how variable power affects other electronic components and logic circuits

    NiCd batteries

    Oh, redox...nvm....so if the KOH breaks down in H2O to form K+ and OH-, presumably the OH- is feeding the electrons to the anode, but what is happening the K+. does it react with the nickel, or it just stays in the water?

    NiCd batteries

    Well, potassium is positivel charged, but only +1. and i'm told that the potassium hydroxide only acts as an electron carrier, so again that confuses me, how does that affect the cathode and anodes to create a charge?

    NiCd batteries

    so i'm researching the effectiveness of Nickel-cadmium as an electrical source, and this coming from a beginner chemistry class, one of the things that is weird to me is that nickel and cadmium are supposedly both positively charged, so how is it that nickel hydroxide is a good anode and cadmium...
