Abstract

The constant potential and constant current discharge techniques were used to determine the hydrogen diffusion coefficients in an LaNi_4.25Al_0.75 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.
