Thin-layered magnesium anodes for ammonia current sourses

Thin-layered magnesium anodes on steel base were made by magnetron spraying. Physical-mechanical properties of this anodes in neutral liquid ammonia electrolyte were determined. The results obtained show that magnesium coating with disordered porous structure provide least time of activation, high discharge currents and can be used as anodic layer of bipolar electrodes of reserve current sources.
