Abstract

Binary Ni-Mo and Ni-W alloy coatings with good adhesion to nickel substrate are successfully prepared by d.c. magnetron sputter deposition method. These alloy electrodes are found to be active hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts in 1 M NaOH solution at 30 °C. Ni-Mo alloy electrodes exhibit the highest activity, which is higher than that of smooth platinum electrode. Leaching treatment in hot concentrated caustic solution for Ni-Mo alloys significantly enhances the activity.
