摘要
Suda and co-workers [B.H. Liu, Z.P. Li, S. Suda, Electrochim. Acta 49 (2004) 3097] reported the use of nickel foam as substrate of electrocatalyst for the electrooxidation of tetrahydroborate. Nickel is a catalytic material that is active towards the electrooxidation of tetrahydroborate, as well as the hydrolysis of tetrahydroborate. Hence, the present discussion article discusses the use of nickel foam. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
