Bz. Fang et al., SURFACE MODIFICATION OF A MCFC ANODE BY ELECTRODEPOSITION OF NIOBIUM, Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 441(1-2), 1998, pp. 1-3
By utilizing the characteristics of a valve metal alloy capable of pos
sessing specific electrocatalytic activity and corrosion resistance by
molten salt metalliding, an attempt was made to use this alloy as the
anode material for a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC). In this paper
an MCFC anode was modified by the electrodeposition of niobium on the
nickel surface in molten fluoride. Polarization experiments reveal th
at corrosion resistance as well as the electrocatalytic activity of th
e niobium-modified electrode is superior to that of an unmodified one.
