“…Figure 3(a) shows an SEM micrograph of cleaned Ni foam which revealed the existence of interconnected struts that generated small and large open pores with ca. 100±20 µm and 500±100 µm in size, respectively [34]. The enlargement of strut section in clean Ni structure exhibited a flat surface without any protuberances in Figure 3(b).…”

Electrolysis of ammonia in alkaline electrolyte solution was applied for the production of hydrogen. Both Pt-loaded Ni foam and Pt-Ir loaded Ni foam electrodes were prepared by electrodeposition and served as anode and cathode in ammonia electrolytic cell, respectively. The electrochemical behaviors of ammonia in KOH solution were individually investigated via cyclic voltammetry on three electrodes, i.e. bare Ni foam electrode, Pt-loaded Ni foam electrode and Pt-Ir loaded Ni foam electrode. The morphology and composition of the prepared Ni foam electrode were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Effects of the concentration of electrolyte solution and temperature of electrolytic cell on the electrolysis reaction were examined in order to enhance the efficiency of ammonia electrolysis. The competition of ammonia electrolysis and water electrolysis in the same alkaline solution was firstly proposed to explain the changes of cell voltage with the electrolysis proceeding. At varying current densities, different cell voltages could be obtained from galvanostatic curves. The low cell voltage of 0.58 V, which is less than the practical electrolysis voltage of water (1.6 V), can be obtained at a current density of 2.5 mA/cm 2 . Based on some experimental parameters, such as the applied current, the resulting cell voltage and output of hydrogen gas, the power consumption per gram of H 2 produced can be estimated.

“…Different methods have been utilized in the synthesis of porous metals or metallic foams including traditional powder metallurgy, 1) a unidirectional solidification method, 2) CVD technique, 3) natural convection, 4) and electroless deposition method. 5) However, most of these methods should be performed with special equipment and under high pressure to improve the porosity.…”

Porous iron with woodlike microstructures was prepared from two kinds of wood templates through a developed biotemplating method in the present work. The biomorphic iron oxide was first produced through infiltration and sintering procedures, and was then reduced to the biomorphic iron in a hydrogen atmosphere at high temperatures (600 C and 1000 C). The morphologies of iron and iron oxide products were observed using SEM and FESEM, and their crystal structures were identified using X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the pure iron phase can be obtained after the reduction process and the products faithfully retained the microstructures of the corresponding wood templates.

“…In addition, nickel foam itself could be made catalytic for alcohol oxidation reaction through the surface formation of extensive oxide/hydroxide layer [5,[17][18][19]. Nickel foams are usually produced by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), physical vapour deposition (PVD) and electrochemical or electroless deposition method with a polyurethane foam precursor [16,[20][21][22]. Extensive structural and electrochemical characterizations of the CVD-based nickel foam were published by Grden et al [21] and by van Drunen et al [22,23].…”

The present paper reports on a significant enhancement of ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), investigated on Pt and PtSn-modified nickel foam electrodes, realized via in situ formation of surface nickel oxy-hydroxide layer in 0.1 M NaOH solution. In the presence of ethanol in electrolyte, adsorbed C 2 H 5 OH molecules (and/or its oxidation intermediates) prevent Pt (PtSn) sites from their extensive dissolution upon prolonged surface electrooxidation of Ni foam electrode. The above was elucidated through cyclic voltammetry examinations and a.c. impedance-derived charge transfer resistance parameter values. Surface topography and the presence of catalytic additives were revealed from the combined scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses.
