Amorphous Ni-P Electrode Materials

Abstract:

Versatile applications and broad interest in amorphous electrode materials, especially the nickel-phosphorus coatings, primarily results from their unique properties and low-production costs in comparison to precious metals. This paper discusses the most important research conducted over several years into the Me-P layers, in particular the Ni-P and Ni-Me-P ones, which led to only partial understanding of these amorphous alloys. Methods of increasing the catalytic activity of the Ni-P layers in the process of electroevolution of hydrogen are also discussed because the electrolytic layers of amorphous nickel still seem to be the promising electrode material.
