Electrode Materials

Abstract:

This review work was focused on conventional and modern electrodes which play an important role in electrochemical systems. Among many types of existing electrode materials, some of the most prominent materials from the conventional (metals and their alloys, graphite and mixed metal oxides) and the modern (amorphous, modified and composite) electrodes, have been outlined. What is also discussed is the recent intensive usability of nanocrystalline electrodes of better properties than their microcrystalline equivalents, and development trend of electrode materials.
