| | Electrochemical cell comprising stable hydride-forming material - Patent 4487817 |
 | | Corrosion can be controlled only partly by providing an oxygen-reduction electrode in the cell, as described in German patent specification No. 2,838,857, because lanthanum, at potentials more positive than -2.0 V with respect to a reversible hydrogen electrode, reacts with water according to the reaction equation: |
 | | Mischmetall is a mixture, consisting of more than 50% by weight of Ce, about 25% by weight of La, about 25% by weight of a mixture of other rare-earth metals. |
 | | The exact composition varies according to the place of origin of the material. |
