METHOD OF PRODUCING POROUS ELECTRODES FOR BATTERIES AND FUEL CELLS

摘要

A method is provided for producing a porous electrode, in particular an anode, the method comprising forming a powder mixture comprising a metal powder and a filler material powder, pressing the powder mixture to form a compact, and heating the compact. The metal is preferably zing and/or a zinc alloy. The filler material is chosen from materials that are susceptible to being converted into a gaseous state upon application of heat.

1. A method for producing a porous electrode, the method comprising:
forming a powder mixture comprising: a first powder comprising metal particles; and, a second powder comprising filler material particles, wherein the filler material is susceptible to being converted into a gaseous form upon application of heat; pressing the powder mixture to form a compact; and, heating the compact to convert the filler material to its gaseous form and to anneal the metal particles.
