Abstract

The work presents results of researches over the deposition of Ni-Mo alloys through the electrolysis conducted in galvanostatic conditions. In order to improve adhesion and aesthetic properties of the deposited alloys, SLS was added to the bath as a surface active agent. The influence of electrolyte pH was tested as well as concentrations of particular components on the composition, structure, cathodic current efficiency of the electrolysis process and catalytic activity of alloys in the process of hydrogen evolution. A positive influence of addition of molybdenum on catalytic activity was observed occurring in lowering the Tafel’s slope within the activation control range from 122 mV/dec (Ni) to 21 mV/dec (Ni-28.5Mo) for a reaction of water molecules reduction in 8 M NaOH at 90°C.
