Comments on "Electrocatalysts for the anodic oxidation of borohydrides" by B.H. Liu, Z.P. Li, S. Suda [Electrochim. Acta 49 (2004) 3097] -Questions and remarks about catalytic activity of nickel foam used as substrate of electrocatalyst
Suda and co-workers [B.H. Liu, Z.P. Li, S. Suda, Electrochim. Acta 49 (2004) 3097] reported the use of nickel foam as substrate of electrocatalyst for the electrooxidation of tetrahydroborate. Nickel is a catalytic material that is active towards the electrooxidation of tetrahydroborate, as well as the hydrolysis of tetrahydroborate. Hence, the present discussion article discusses the use of nickel foam. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
