Abstract
A method of activating a hydrogen storage alloy electrode. The method comprises the step of applying current cycles to the electrode where each current cycle includes a forward pulse effective to at least partially charge the electrode and a reverse pulse effective to at least partially discharge the electrode.
Claims10
A method of activating a hydrogen storage alloy electrode, comprising the step of:
- applying a plurality of current cycles to said electrode, each of said current cycles including a forward current pulse effective to at least partially charge said electrode and a reverse current pulse effective to at least partially discharge said electrode.
A method of activating a fuel cell electrode including a hydrogen storage alloy, said method comprising the step of:
- applying a plurality of current cycles to said fuel cell electrode, each of said current cycles including a forward current pulse effective to at least partially charge said anode and a reverse current pulse effective to at least partially discharge said electrode.
