Lightweight Battery Electrode and Method of Making it. (1998)

Abstract
A process for producing a lightweight electrode grid by exposing a compressed, heated mat of dense graphite fibers to Ni(CO)4 gas wherein the Ni(CO)4 decomposes upon contact with the graphite fibers depositing a nickel metal coating on the graphite fibers which strongly bonds the fibers together to form a compressed mat or grid of nickel metal coated fibers. jg. Supersedes PAT-APPL-087 002-93.
