The typical MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell) anode is made of Ni-10%Cr alloy. The work of this paper is focused concerning long life of anode because Ni-10% Cr anode is suffering from sintering and creep behavior during cell operation. Therefore, Ni-coated Alumina powder($20{mu}m$) was developed by electroless nickel plating. Optimum condition of electroless nickel coation on $20{mu}m$ alumina is as follows: pH 11.7, temperature $65{sim}80^{circ}C$, powder amount $100cm^2/l$. The deposition rate for Ni-electroless plating was as a function of temperature and activation energy was evaluated by Arrhenius Equation thereby activation energy calculated slope of experimental data as 117.6 kJ/mol, frequency factor(A) was $6.28{ imes}10^{18}hr^{-1}$, respectively.
