Durable electrolytic cell electrodes having low hydrogen overpotential and performance stability. A highly porous electrocatalytic primary phase and an outer, secondary phase reinforcement coating are provided on an electrically conducting transition metal substrate to make the electrodes. Durability is achieved by the application of the outer secondary phase to protect the primary phase electrocatalytically active coating. A process is also disclosed for catalizing a substrate surface to promote electroless deposition of a metal. |
