ABSTRACT:
An alkaline electrolytic hydrogen generator having an anode including a low oxygen overpotential catalyst comprising a composite hydrous oxide of nickel and iron in which the nickel content varies from about 0.6 to about 19 parts nickel per part iron. The catalyst will preferably comprise an electrochemically coprecipitated coating on a conductive substrate.
