Electrochemical Determination of the Diffusion Coefficient of Hydrogen Through an LaNi4.25Al0.75 Electrode in Alkaline Aqueous Solution

Abstract

The constant potential and constant current discharge techniques were used to determine the hydrogen diffusion coefficients in an LaNi4.25Al0.75 electrode. The values obtained were 2.97 × 10–11 and 3.30 × 10–11 cm2/s, respectively. The advantages and disadvantages of these two techniques are discussed.
