Electrocatalytic activity of porous Ni–Fe–Mo–C–LaNi5 sintered electrodes for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline solution

Abstract: The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied in 6 M KOH solution at temperatures ranging between 303 K and 353 K on a porous Ni-Fe-Mo-C-LaNi 5 electrode. By using steady-state polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the surface roughness factor and the intrinsic activities of the porous Ni-Fe-Mo-C-LaNi 5 electrode have been determined. The Tafel slope of the best-performing porous Ni-Fe-Mo-C-LaNi 5 cathode materials is 140 mV dec À1, and the exchange current density is 9.9 Â … Show more

“…The electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is one of the main cathodic reactions in electrochemical energy conversion devices. 5 To meet the requirements of a HER, efficient electrocatalysts are imperative owing to the multi electron nature of dihydrogen generation through proton reduction 6 and reduction of over potential (h). In general, electrocatalytic materials are found to the best solution for low production costs and reducing the over potential of a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).…”

“…Moreover, the NiO p-type semiconductor has emerged as the most frequently used material in this field for its low cost, good stability, and suitable band position alignment, for the transfer of photogenerated holes to counter electrode, that is a key efficiency-determining step of PEC water splitting [14][15][16]. In order to increase the catalytic activity of nickel based materials towards the HER, two basic approaches could be adopted, namely the use of multicomponent catalysts and the increase of the real surface area [17]. Ni-based alloys, together with other transition metals or rare earths, have been widely studied and exhibited better catalytic capability than single Ni catalyst, due to synergistic effects of the elements forming the alloy [18,19].…”
