Abstract

Porous electrode theory was applied to estimate the exchange current density, the polarization resistance, and symmetry factor for LaNi_4.27Sn_0.24 hydride electrode in alkaline solution. The exchange current density, polarization resistance, and symmetry factor were determined from polarization curves which were obtained at low overpotentials.
