Description
Summary:The relation between the morphological and the catalytic properties of active carbon-nickel catalysts was investigated in connection with using these catalysts as cathodes in air-zinc cells. The samples, containing different amounts of deposited nickel nitrate were activated in carbon dioxide. During the process of activation changes in texture porosity, surface area and helium density appeared. These properties are discussed in relation to the catalytic activity of the active carbon-nickel catalysts. It was found that the properties mentioned above may be modified according to the nickel content. The dispersion and the texture of nickel on the surface of active carbon were examined by scanning electron microscopy.
