Electrochemical Investigation of Hydrogen Evolution and Absorption Phenomena in Nickel Based Electrodes

  • Chapter
New Promising Electrochemical Systems for Rechargeable Batteries

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 6))

Abstract

Due to its potential for industrial applications, hydrogen absorption in metals has attracted continuous interest. Understanding the hydrogen chemistry in metals is crucial due to the significance of hydrogen-metal interactions in important industrial and technical applications such as catalysis, H-fuel containment, corrosion and embrittlement of metals and rechargeable metal hydride batteries [1–2].
