Abstract
Provided is an iron based electrode comprising a single layer of a conductive substrate coated on at least one side with a coating comprising an iron active material and a binder. The iron based electrode is useful in a Ni—Fe battery as the anode. The electrode can also be prepared by continuously coating each side of the substrate with a coating mixture comprising the iron active material and binder.
Claims6
