  • Methods and systems for in-situ electroplating of electrodes
    Patent number: 9045839
    Abstract: The present techniques provide electrochemical devices having enhanced electrodes with surfaces that facilitate operation, such as by formation of a porous nickel layer on an operative surface, particularly of the cathode. The porous metal layer increases the surface area of the electrode, which may result in increasing the efficiency of the electrochemical devices. The formation of the porous metal layer is performed in situ, that is, after the assembly of the electrodes into an electrochemical device. The in situ process offers a number of advantages, including the ability to protect the porous metal layer on the electrode surface from damage during assembly of the electrochemical device. The enhanced electrode and the method for its processing may be used in any number of electrochemical devices, and is particularly well suited for electrodes in an electrolyzer useful for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

  • Curable acrylate compositions, methods of making the compositions and articles made therefrom
    Patent number: 7294657
    Abstract: A composition comprising a phenylthioethylacrylate, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate, a curing agent, wherein the phenylthioethylacrylate comprises less than about 400 parts per million tin and less than about 2 percent by weight of the corresponding phenylthioethanol. The composition may further comprise at least one unsaturated acid.
