(57) [Problem] To provide a low-cost nickel positive electrode that does not use an expensive three-dimensional metal porous body such as foamed nickel, and that has excellent utilization and high-rate discharge characteristics. Kind Code: A1 A nickel positive electrode for an alkaline secondary battery, in which a mixture containing nickel hydroxide surface-coated with α-type cobalt hydroxide, a conductive additive and a binder is carried on a two-dimensionally structured current collector, and A nickel positive electrode for an alkaline secondary battery, wherein the α-type cobalt hydroxide surface-coating the nickel hydroxide of the nickel positive electrode is changed to γ-cobalt oxyhydroxide by initial charging. |
