Abstract

As a catalytic coating for alkaline electrolysis Raney Nickel is one of the most efficient materials discovered, based largely on the activity of nickel and the porosity of the alloy after leaching. This study improves the electrochemical and corrosion performance of the coating for both hydrogen an...
