TLDR
In this article, the hydrogen evolution reaction (h.e.r) was studied in alkaline solutions on two types of electrodes: (1) obtained by alloying Raney nickel without or with nickel and (ii) by pressing Raney Nickel and nickel powders at room temperature.
Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction (h.e.r) was studied in alkaline solutions on two types of electrodes: (1) obtained by alloying Raney nickel without or with nickel and (ii) by pressing Raney nickel and nickel powders at room temperature. The obtained electrodes are usually very active for the h.e.r. The most active electrode was obtained by pressing Raney nickel with nickel powder (50 wt %). It was characterized by a large roughness factor, R ∼ 10 000 and a very low overpotential at the current density of 250 mA cm−2, η250 = 56 mV. The mechanism of the h.e.r. was studied using a.c. impedance measurements. The high electrode activity is connected with the increase in the intrinsic activity of the porous electrode surface.
