In order to reduce the price of nickel hydroxide and extend the application of nickel based alkaline secondary batteries, Mn substituted nickel hydroxide (Ni1−xMnx(OH)2, x = 0–0.4) was prepared by using a simple ball milling method in this paper. The optimal ball milling conditions were obtained for the preparation of Ni0.8Mn0.2(OH)2. The results of X-ray diffraction, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and charge–discharge tests indicated that (i) a structure of β-Ni(OH)2 was maintained for Ni1−xMnx(OH)2; (ii) the surface electrochemical activity of nickel hydroxide could be effectively improved by Mn substitution; (iii) capacity of Ni0.8Mn0.2(OH)2 reached 282 mA h/g and it showed an excellent cycling durability; (iv) compared to no-substituted nickel hydroxide, Ni0.8Mn0.2(OH)2 showed a decrease both in charge–discharge plateau and capacity; but with the increase of discharge rate, the difference in discharge plateau between them was smaller, and capacity of the latter exceeded the former.
