Regeneration of porous nickel elements. [an aqueous solution of NH/sub 3/--NH/sub 4/Cl is passed through cell to remove nickel oxides]

Abstract

A method for regenerating a fuel cell with Ag-catalyzed O electrodes containing Ni and H electrodes containing Raney Ni where the voltage had dropped from 750 to 630 mV within 3200 hr at 50 mA/cm/sup 2/ is described. An aqueous NH/sub 3/-NH/sub 4/Cl solution was passed through the cell under 1 atm H at 60/sup 0/, whereby 27 g Ni was dissolved as the hydroxide. The voltage of the regenerated cell was 770 mV and remained constant during 500 hr operation. The Ni ions in the regenerating solutions were removed by electrolysis.
