Abstract

Enhancement of the electrochemical activity of a LaNi 4.7Al 0.3 electrode was observed subsequent to some charge–discharge cycles in a KOH solution containing hydrogen peroxide. Metallic nickel is enriched at the alloy surface after the treatment, and the concentration of lanthanum decreased during the treatment. The change in the distribution of elements at the alloy surface is expected to lead to a different dispersion state of nickel particles in the region, resulting in improvement of the catalytic activity for the charge-transfer process on the alloy surface.
