Abstract
A nickel anode electrode fabricated by oxidizing a nickel alloying material to produce a material whose exterior contains nickel oxide and whose interior contains nickel metal throughout which is dispersed the oxide of the alloying material and by reducing and sintering the oxidized material to form a product having a nickel metal exterior and an interior containing nickel metal throughout which is dispersed the oxide of the alloying material.
Claims23
A method of producing a nickel anode electrode comprising the steps of:
- oxidizing a nickel alloy material in particle form to produce in its exterior nickel oxide and in its interior nickel metal throughout which is dispersed an oxide of the alloying material;
- compacting said nickel alloy particles to form a porous cohesive structure,
- and simultaneously reducing and sintering said compact of said oxidized nickel alloy material to produce nickel metal in the material exterior, whereby a sintered porous anode component is formed having nickel metal in its exterior and in its interior nickel metal throughout which is dispersed an oxide of the alloying material.
