Provided is a positive electrode for an alkaline storage battery, capable of achieving a high charge efficiency over a wide range of temperature including high temperatures. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode material mixture including: a nickel oxide as a positive electrode active material; a first additive; and a second additive differing from the first additive. An amount of sulfate ions SO 4 2− remaining in the nickel oxide is 0.45 mass % or less. The first additive is a compound including at least one selected from the group consisting of ytterbium, indium, calcium, barium, beryllium, antimony, erbium, thulium, and lutetium. The second additive is a compound including at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, scandium, niobium, zirconium, and zinc. |
