Abstract

Abstract A Platinum-modified alloy coating with high hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) durability activity was prepared by electrodeposition. The durability of this catalyst was determined with electrolysis technique for 120 h. The prepared electrode was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Long-term electrolysis was carried out in 1 M KOH solution by cathodic current–potential curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Experimental result showed that CoZn–Pt coating has a rough structure and presents good stability and high durability. Electrochemical activity increases slightly with increasing electrolysis time. High durability of Pt modified cathode was attributed to the high surface area and synergistic interaction between Co, Zn and Pt.
