Abstract
Metal/metal (hydr)oxide heterostructures have been proposed as an efficient means to enhance the kinetics of hydrogen electrode reactions (the hydrogen evolution and the hydrogen oxidation reaction) on Pt, Ni, and other electrodes in the alkaline medium. However, the reasons for the faster electrode kinetics are still not fully understood. By considering two electrode materials, namely Pt and Ni, widely studied in hydrogen electrode reactions in alkaline media, this review brings to light differences in their pH-dependent behavior and likely different genesis of the enhancement in the presence of 3d transition metal oxides.
