In order to fulfill volume and cost requirements on metal‐air batteries it is necessary to use bifunctional air electrodes which also serve as counter‐electrodes during charge. This twofold duty puts a very high demand on the electrode, especially the structure and catalyst. In the iron‐air battery program of SNDC a 0.6 mm porous Ni‐electrode with Ag catalyst has been developed for this purpose with a life of more than 1000 charge/discharge cycles. In this paper design, performance, structural changes, mode of failure etc. are discussed.
