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 electrocatalyst for electrooxidation tetrahydroborate. Nickel is a catalytic material that active towards tetrahydroborate well hydrolysis Hence, present discussion article discusses foam.
