Development and Characterization of Composite Electrodes as New Cathode Materials for Water Electrolysis

Herein, we present a novel, efficient and economical composite electrode for hydrogen production. The electrode has been formed by a direct electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of the commercial Ni foam . The obtained active coatings have been tested for their efficiency and performance as electrode surfaces for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1M KOH by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The electrochemical characterization for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques.
