Abstract
The present work focusses on the fabrication of new Ni–Co electrolyte for the development of Ni–Co electrocatalysts for water splitting application. All the Ni–Co alloy coatings were deposited from an acid sulphate bath and their electrocatalytic activity was tested in 1 M KOH. The Ni–Co alloys developed at range of current density from 3.0 to 6.0 A dm–2 were found to be good electrode materials for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry (CP) methods. The Ni–Co alloy deposits which are catalytically active for HER are found to be inactive for OER and vice versa. The change in surface appearance, composition, and the phase structure of all developed coatings were analysed using instrumental techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively.
期刊介绍：
Protection of Metals and Physical Chemistry of Surfaces is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles covering all aspects of the physical chemistry of materials and interfaces in various environments. The journal covers all related problems of modern physical chemistry and materials science, including: physicochemical processes at interfaces; adsorption phenomena; complexing from molecular and supramolecular structures at the interfaces to new substances, materials and coatings; nanoscale and nanostructured materials and coatings, composed and dispersed materials; physicochemical problems of corrosion, degradation and protection; investigation methods for surface and interface systems, processes, structures, materials and coatings. No principe restrictions exist related systems, types of processes, methods of control and study. The journal welcomes conceptual, theoretical, experimental, methodological, instrumental, environmental, and all other possible studies.
