Investigation on anodes from anode supported cells manufactured by Solidpower and aged by IEES-BAS with electrochemical characterization.

<p>samples are mounted in epoxy-resin and polished up to 250nm using diamond paste on specific tissue (MD-NAP, Struers). Observation by SEM (ZEISS EVO 40) using backscattered electrons as the contrast method. Chemical analysis performed using EDS after calibration with Co standard and using ZAF algorithm correction. The standard magnification is 5000. The pictures are further threated using ImageJ software for quantitative image analysis. Porosity and Nickel particles are highlighted by using Coreldraw software image enhancements.</p>
