Abstract
A series of fluorination techniques have been developed in this laboratory to improve the surface condition of AB(2) alloy. The fluorination was found effective for removing oxide layer and implanting catalytic Ni to the allo y surfaces. The developed fluorination techniques improved considerably the initial activation characteristics, decreased the electrochemical reaction impedance and increased the rate capacity of AB(2) electrodes.
