Data on the characterization of Raney nickel powder and Raney-nickel-coated electrodes prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying for alkaline water electrolysis

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled: "Electrochemical characterization of Raney nickel electrodes prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying for alkaline water electrolysis" (Kim et al., 2018). This article describes the characterization of raw Ni-Al alloy and Raney Ni powders via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and presents the EDS data of the prepared electrodes.
