Physical and Chemical Characterization of Ni+MoO2 Composite Electrocoatings

Abstract:

This work deals with the development of new electrochemical ways to improve the cathode activity towards hydrogen evolution reaction. An in situ composite electrodeposition technique has been proposed to obtain the porous Ni+MoO2 coatings by simultaneous co-deposition of Ni and MoO2 onto a Cu substrate from a nickel plating bath containing 10 g dm-3 of MoO2 powder suspended by magnetic stirring. Electrodeposition was conducted at 30°C at the deposition current density of jd = 50-250 mA cm-2. SEM, EDS, and XRD measurements, were applied for physical and chemical characterization of the obtained coatings. It was found that by controlling the deposition conditions it was possible to obtain porous Ni+MoO2 coatings containing from 10 to 15 at.% of MoO2. The XRD results confirmed their diphase structure with a polycrystalline Ni matrix into which a crystalline component in the form of MoO2 particles was built-in.
