Opportunities for application of new materials as components in electrochemical cells (electrodes, electrolytes, membranes, and separators) are discussed in this section. In addition, electrochemical processing is considered in the sense that it presents opportunities for the synthesis of new materials such as electroepitaxial GaAs, graded alloys, and superlattices. Finally, attention is focused on the evolution of new engineering materials that were developed for reasons other than their electrochemical properties but that in some cases are remarkably inert (glassy alloys). Others that are susceptible to corrosion (some metal-matrix composites) and more traditional materials that are finding service in new applications (structural ceramics in aqueous media, for example) are also considered briefly. 

Besides these developments, which are directed at specific applications, NijAl alloys are used for the development of inter-metallic matrix composites which contain reinforcing particles or fibers of borides, carbides, oxides or carbon (Fuchs, 1989 Lee et al., 1990 Tortorelli et al., 1990 Al-man and Stoloff, 1991 Kumar, 1991 McKamey and Carmichael, 1991 Muk-herjee and Khanra, 1991 Brennan etal., 1992). Apart from the mechanical properties and the necessary corrosion resistance, the chemical compatibility of the used phases is of primary importance with respect to the long-term stability. It was found that SiC, B4C, and TiBj react extensively with Nij Al alloys, whereas very little reaction has been observed with AljOj or Tie in NijAl (Fuchs, 1989 Lee etal., 1990 Brennan etal., 1992). It should be noted that NijAl alloys are used not only as the matrix material, but also as a reinforcing phase in, e.g. an Al alloy to form a metal-matrix composite (Metelnick and Varin, 1991).

Carbon fiber metal matrix composites are subject to corrosion, as is the unreinforced matrix [65], and must be provided with some form of surface protection. 

Severe exfoliation has been reported with graphite/tJu-minum metal matrix composites in marine environments [5]. Localized corrosion along wire-wire and wire-foil diffusion bonds resulted in disbondment of the precursor wires and aluminum foils.
