摘要: Electrodeposited Ni-Zn and Ni-S on a mild steel substrate have shown very good performance as cathode materials for the HER in alkaline media. The were studied previously with surface techniques evaluated through current-potential curves long term operation. This paper describes detailed mechanistic study of carried out impedance techniques. In both cases reaction proceeds Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism. As predicted by kinetic theory, temperature shows that energy activation rate determining step is same overall reaction.
