HYDROGEN-OXYGEN ELECTRODE STUDY.
Abstract
Investigations of low-temperature hydrogenoxygen fuel cell catalysts were continued. The electrochemical performance of the fuel cell electrodes was studied employing the driving circuit indicated in the quarterly report of 15 September 1963. A reference electrode (Hg, HgO) was included in the 30% KOH electrolyte to allow the polarizations of the fuel and oxygen electrodes to be studied individually. For the oxygen electrode a platinized nickel electrnde was found to give the performance. The hydrogen electrode was studied with platinized electrodes, palladized electrodes and with platinum-palladium codeposit d electrolytically. Results indicate that the codeposit produces the best electrochemical performance of the three. Work is continuing along this line in an effort to further improve the discharge curves. (Author)
