Effect of carbon material additives on hydrogen evolution at rechargeable alkaline iron battery electrodes
In recent years a renewed interest in developing iron electrode for iron based accumulators has risen, govern by the progress in nano-materials research that could bring iron based accumulators nearer to their theoretical energy density and capacity. In this aspect, Iron-Air battery chemistry is bes...
