Alpha-Nickel Hydroxide Coating of Metallic Nickel for Enhanced Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Yunchang Liang

In this work, alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) processes of three typical nickel-based electrocatalysts [i.e., Ni, alpha-Ni(OH)(2), and beta-Ni(OH)(2)] were investigated to probe critical factors that determine the activity and durability. The HE ...
