Used industrially for dehairing hides, wool pulling, ore flotation, metal refining, engraving, cotton printing, in the manufacture of paper, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and sulfur dyes. It is used in production of heavy water for nuclear reactors. 

Uses. The metal is used in electroplating, in solder for aluminum, as a constituent of easily fusible alloys, as a deoxidizer in nickel plating, in process engraving, in cadmium-nickel batteries, and in reactor control rods. Cadmium compounds are employed as TV phosphors, as pigments in glazes and enamels, in dyeing and printing, and in semiconductors and rectifiers. 

The bipolar plates are usually fabricated with non-porous machined graphite or corrosion-resistant metal plates. Distribution channels are engraved in these plates. Metallic foams can also be used for distributing the reactants. One key point is to ensure a low ohmic resistance inside the bipolar plate and at the contact with the M EA. Another point is to use materials with high corrosion resistance in the oxidative environment of the oxygen cathode. 

Lead ores are widely distributed in Nature, and are easily smelted. The Babylonians too engraved inscriptions on thin plates of metallic lead (10). The Romans used it extensively for water pipes, writing tablets, and coins. Unfortunately, they also used it for cooking utensils, and lead poisoning was an all-too-frequent result. A few very small lead nuggets, some of which are believed to be of pre-Columbian origin, have been found in Peru, Yucatan, and Guatemala (41).
