The objectives of the present study were to find substitutes for platinum as electrocatalysts for alkaline fuel cells. For this purpose, electrode kinetic studies were carried out for the hydrogen oxidation reaction on the metals Pt and Ni and on the alloys Pt-Ni, Pt-Ti and Ni-Ti and for the oxygen

โฆ Synopsis
The electrochemical behaviour of ferrites having the composition La, _,Sr,FeO,_,in the oxygen reaction has been studied. The catalytic activity of these compounds was compared with that of copper manganite Cu, ..Mn, .604 and that of lanthanum strontium cobaltite La,,,Sr,,,CoO, as well as with that of surface oxides developed on nickel and its alloys. It was shown that in the evolution of oxygen, nickel and its alloys (NiBe-NiCo,)
are the least polarizable materials.
In the reduction of oxygen, it was shown that all the mixed oxides undergo reduction at the same time as the reduction of oxygen. For the ferrites, the catalytic activity for oxygen reduction is related to the fraction of vacancies existing in the compound.
