Abstract

This work represents the summary of the life cycle assessment of nickel aluminide intermetallic powders as used in the anodes of hydrogen fuel cells, work done for the IMPRESS FP6 project (2004 to 2009). NiAl intermetallics have good catalytic properties making them particularly useful for numerous...
