ABSTRACT Discloses a cathode having a porous surface prepared by electro arc spray metallization of two wires of a leachable metal and a catalytic metal onto a substrate, and removal of the leachable metal. Also discloses method of preparing the cathode, and an electrolytic process using the cathode. Specifically, an electrode is disclosed comprising: a. a metallic substrate; and b. a porous nickel surface on said metallic substrate, said porous nickel surface having a porosity of from about 50 to about 75 percent, the improvement wherein said porous nickel surface has an X-ray pattern having peaks at 31.20 degrees two theta, 44.66 degrees two theta, 51.62 degrees two theta, and 64 80 degrees two theta and is prepared by the method comprising: (i) providing a pair of wires, said wires being spaced apart from one another, each of said wires comprising a nickel core and an aluminum cladding, said nickel and aluminum being substantially unalloyed with each other; (ii) establishing an electrical potential between the wires whereby to establish an arc therebetween at a temperature above about 2000 C and melt a portion of each of said wires; (iii) depositing molten material formed thereby on the metallic substrate whereby to form a surface comprising from about 33 to about 66 weight percent Al, balance Ni, in the form of NiAl3 and Ni2Al3 and having an X-ray diffraction pattern with peaks at 44 to 46 degrees two theta, 25.4 to 26 degrees two theta, 18 to 18.4 degrees two theta, and 65 to 66 degrees two theta; and (iv) leaching aluminum therefrom to provide the porous nickel surface.
