Abstract
A new type of anode materials in form of nanocrystalline composite powders has been developed that offers the potential for dramatically improved discharge capacity and initial activation rate. The composites are synthesized by ball milling of two components - a major component (basic component) having high hydrogen capacity and a minor component (surface activator) with good electrocatalytic activity. The capacity increase observed by ball milling with surface activator. The ball-milled composite materials are easier to activate than the non ball-milled basic component.
