Fabrication of Co-NiTe-Ni(OH)2@NF Active Cathode Material as an Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution
摘要
In this work, Ni(OH)2@NF electrode using nickel foam as a substrate and the hydrothermal method was synthesized. Using the secondary hydrothermal method, Co-NiTe-Ni(OH)2@NF was manufactured. The materials were characterized via electrochemical performance tests and physical characterization. Both have good hydrogen evolution reaction catalytic ability, but Co-NiTe-Ni(OH)2@NF is better. With an ECSA of 123.38 cm−2 and an overpotential of just 113 mV, it demonstrated remarkable performance at a current concentration of 10 mV cm−2. Voltage transfer resistance, ascertained via electrochemical impedance testing, was 5.73 Ω. Tafel test slope was 11.75 mV dec−1.
