Abstract

871,950. Fuel cells; electrolysers. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Oct. 16, 1959 [Oct. 24, 1958], No. 34127/58. Classes 41 and 53. An electrode for a fuel cell or electrolyser as described in Specifications 864,456 and 667,298 consists of a metal plate 1 supporting a porous layer 2 of sintered nickel covered with a nickel layer 3 having finer pores. The support 1 is flat instead of being dish-shaped as in the Specifications referred to, and the layer 3 is extended over the layer 2 into contact with the plate 1 over an area 23 of greater width than the thickness of the layer 3. The layer 2 is made by spraying the plate with a suspension of nickel powder and then applying the coarse pore layer of nickel powder, a ring of stiff material being placed on the plate to define the boundary of the powder. The ring is removed and the powder then sintered. The sharp edge is rounded off, and the fine-pored layer 3 placed in position and sintered to the layer 2 and plate 1. Bipolar plates may be made in this way, gas being supplied through ports to spaces between the coarse nickel layer and the plate 1 as described in Specification 864,456, or separate positive and negative plates may be used in which case the plate 1 is provided with holes 6 through which gas is led from the rear side of the plate.
