LaCrO3 was prepared by glycine combustion method and investigated as negative electrode for Ni/MH batteries. The structures of the as-calcined powder and the 20th charge–discharge cycle sample were characterized by XRD. The electrochemical experimental results demonstrated that the LaCrO3 electrode showed excellent electrochemical reversibility and considerably high charge–discharge capacity at various temperatures. Except for the charge–discharge cycle at 298K, the discharge capacities of LaCrO3 electrode keep steady at 107.1mAhg−1and 285mAhg−1 at 313K and 333K after 5 cycles, respectively.
