Influence of Surface Development of Ni/W Coatings on the Kinetics of the Electrolytic Hydrogen Evolution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Ni+W composite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition under the galvanostatic conditions (jdep = -300 mA cm-2) from the nickel plating bath containing an addition of tungsten powder of different granulation (<150 nm, 12 μm, <150 μm). For comparison, the Ni-W alloy coating was also obtained. Studies of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were carried out in 5 M KOH solution at room temperature using steady-state polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. It was found that for the Ni+W (<150 μm) composite coating increase in the activity of HER was observed in comparison with the others coatings.
