Dear Alessandro Zana

Yes, the thermal spraying is the better approach than electroplating and other coating like galvanizing. In [1] you find brief solid-based answer from A&A Coatings Company for the inquiry "How Is Thermal Spraying Better than Electroplating and Galvanizing". In this respect, the review published by "ChemNanoMat" contains a bundle of technical knowledge related coatings application for alkaline water electrolysers (Hydrogen Production). This technical paper focused under its titled on the " Application of Thermal Spray Coatings in Electrolysers for Hydrogen Production: Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities"[2]. Best regards …
