Possible reactions include hydrogen recombination to form H₂, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and “hydrogen ionisation” to form H⁺. Here, bulk measurements and microelectrode-based methods were used to mechanistically investigate such reactions occurring during hydrogen egress from Pd. Significant ORR was detected on hydrogen-charged Pd (Pd-H) surfaces, when using a Platinum (Pt) microelectrode (ME) in the redox competition mode. However, minor hydrogen recombination was also detected while using the Pt ME in the sample generation-tip collection (SG-TC) mode. Hydrogen ionisation is observed to occur when Pd (H) is anodically polarised. These reactions can all be linked to the highly negative equilibrium potential of the atomic H/H⁺ redox couple.

The induced MHD convection is found to be able to accelerate the diffusion of gas components in to the bulk electrolyte, resulting in a low comprehensive current efficiency, and further leading to longer growth cycle and larger separation diameter of oxygen bubbles. In addition, different from the “coalesce-and-bounce” detachment pattern, bubbles generated in magnetic field will undergo a sliding motion on the electrode surface during their growth process, which shows a lower coalescence frequency and a smoother detachment.

Many electrochemical energy conversion methods rely on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), but creating effectual, economical electrocatalysts for it has proven difficult. The multifunctional electrocatalyst, nickel selenide-anchored cobalt telluride, has been found to be effective in catalyzing oxygen evolution processes in alkaline medium.

The presence of NiSe in the CoTe matrix responses a powerful OER responses due to the synergistic effect in alkaline environment. The NiSe@CoTe nanocomposite shows minimal Tafel value (39 mV/dec) and lower overpotential (247 mV) to attain a current density of 10 mA/cm², whereas the pristine CoTe and NiSe needed higher overpotential to attain same current density.
