Kinetics of hydrogen evolution in acidic environments on pressed micrographite electrodes modified with carbon nanotubes. I. Polarization studies

Abstract

The kinetics of cathodic hydrogen evolution on pressed micrographite electrodes containing up to 8 wt % multiwalled carbon nanotubes is studied. The effects of the potential scan rate, concentration of nanotubes, direction (forward or reverse) of polarization, acidity of environment, and electrode potential are discovered.
