The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global nickel metal hydride batteries is expected to grow to $5.59 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 12.1%. Nickel metal hydride batteries are increasingly being used in hybrid vehicles. The wide temperature range between -30 °C to + 75 °C and rapid charging capacity made these batteries ideal for the automotive sector. NiMH batteries can handle the high-power levels which are essential for electric vehicles. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) report, electric vehicle sales are expected to reach 540 million by 2040, which is around 32% of the world’s passenger vehicles. The increasing demand for electric vehicles will positively impact the NiMH battery market. Major players in the nickel metal hydride batteries market are Duracell, Energizer Holdings, Panasonic, Primearth EV Energy, Spectrum Brands, GP Batteries International, Panasonic, Spectrum Brands (Rayovac), Duracell, and Aeg Powertools. Regulations introduced by various governments for rechargeable battery manufacturing hindered the growth of the market. The battery manufacturing process generates wastewater and releases pollutants such as cadmium, cobalt, copper, cyanide, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and zinc The manufacturers are usually advised unless mandated to reduce the number of hazardous substances released into the environment. For example, the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formulated the Battery Manufacturing Effluent Guidelines and Standards to regulate such pollutants. Recent developments in NiMH battery manufacturing have improved the lifespan of nickel-metal hydride batteries. The electro-positivity of the A-elements makes them easy to corrode in the alkaline electrolyte used in NiMH batteries. A thin protective layer is used on alloy particles to improve the reaction kinetics and corrosion stability of conventional NiMH batteries. For instance, Researchers at Stockholm University, a Swedish public university, have developed metal hydride surface structures for NiMH batteries to extend cycle life.
