Abstract

The literature data on electrochemical and gas hydrogenation of nickel and its composites were analyzed. The obtained results and prospects of their use for the development of alternative energy are presented. It is shown that composites with nickel nanoparticles are promising for their use as catalysts and as electrodes with better electrochemical characteristics.
