The only white paper I can find is in german. Basically, they changed the seperator material between the anode and cathode half-cells and use a lattice cathode design to reduce cathode breakdown, thus reducing self-discharge while maintaining the basic chemistry of the NiMh. They may be using a different rare-earth alloy in the cathde as well (there are several different cathode materials that can be used as part of a NiMh cell, all are rare earth alloys matched with their complementary Hydride. The better performing ones are more expensive).
