Book cover Electrodeposition

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 48))

Abstract

The noble metals or their oxides are the most convenient substrates for most electrochemical reactions taking place in fuel cells or in industrial electrolysis, for example. Because of this, the “activated” electrodes are introduced, consisting of a conducting, inert support coated with a thin layer of electrocatalyst. In this way, not only the chemical nature of the electrode can be modified but also its morphology and structure in dependence on the procedure of preparation.
