Abstract
Voltammetric behaviour close to the hydrogen evolution reaction has been studied on metallic conducting oxides from Ti n O2n−1 series with n = 4–6. The Ti4O7, Ti5O9 and Ti6O11 ceramic electrodes were prepared by the reduction of TiO2 compacts with hydrogen. The current-voltage curves (i, E) were obtained by the potentiodynamic method in aqueous solutions. The electrochemical reaction which occurs in the cathodic potential region is discussed in terms of proton insertion into the Ti n O2n−1 structure. The influence of the porosity of the ceramic electrodes on the electrochemical reaction taking place in this potential region was examined using electrodes of different pore size distributions (different values of roughness factor, r). The influence of the degree of reduction of titanium oxide (n in Ti n O2n−1) on the electrolytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction on these oxides was examined.
