In this paper, we analysed the influence of corrosion processes and the addition of a carbon black-heteropoly phosphomolybdic acid (C45-MPA) nanocomposite on the operating parameters of a hydride electrode obtained on the basis of the intermetallic compound La2Ni9Co. The electrochemical properties of negative electrodes for NiMH batteries were studied using galvanostatic charge/discharge curves, the potentiostatic method, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The morphology and chemical composition analysis of the studied electrodes were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with supporting energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). For more structural information, FTIR analysis was performed. The results indicate that the presence of the C45-MPA nanocomposite in the electrode material increased both the discharge capacity of the hydride electrode and the exchange current density of the H2O/H2 system. The heteropoly acid-modified electrode is also more resistant to high discharge current densities due to its catalytic activity.
