Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

Multicomponent intermetallic absorbers of hydrogen which are used as active materials in secondary current sources have a number of shortcomings: low electrical capacity and excessively high cost, particularly for cobalt containing alloys. A contemporary progressive method to improve the properties of electrode material is optimization of the alloy microstructure. Intermetallic hydrogen absorbers with controlled structural disorder were obtained by powder metallurgy techniques, and the effect of such on the electrochemical properties examined.
