Research on the preparation of a high-performance Ni–Ho hydrogen evolution catalyst
摘要
The rapid socioeconomic development and excessive consumption of fossil fuels have given rise to a global energy and environmental crisis. As a clean fuel with high energy density, hydrogen highlights the urgent demand for developing efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, a Ni–Ho catalyst was synthesized via one-step galvanostatic electrodeposition. Its structure and morphology were characterized by XRD, SEM, and other characterization techniques, and its electrochemical performance was investigated by LSV, CV, and other electrochemical techniques in 1 M KOH. The Ni–Ho electrode exhibits an overpotential of 79 mV at 10 mA/cm2 with a Tafel slope of 152.8 mV/dec and maintains excellent stability during long-term electrolysis.
