Abstract

CuFeZn composite catalysts have been prepared on the graphite electrode
by electrochemical deposition as electrocatalytic materials for hydrogen
evolution reaction (HER). The etching
process was applied on catalysts in caustic solution to leach out zinc and to
produce a porous electrocatalytic surface
for hydrogen evolution. The surface morphologies were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. HER activity is assessed by recording cathodic
current–potential curves, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy and electrolysis techniques. The results show that etched
catalysts have a compact and porous structure as well as a good electrocatalytic activity for the HER in
alkaline media.

Abstract

CuFeZn kompozit katalizörleri, hidrojen indirgenme reaksiyonu (HER) için
elektrokimyasal malzemeler olarak elektrokimyasal biriktirme ile grafit
elektrotu üzerinde hazırlanmıştır. Sodyum hidroksit çözeltideki aşındırma
işlemi, çinkoyu yüzeyden uzaklaştırmak ve hidrojen indirgeme için gözenekli bir
elektrokatalitik yüzey üretmek için katalizörler üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Yüzey
morfolojileri taramalı elektron mikroskobu ile araştırıldı. HER aktivitesi
katodik akım-potansiyel eğrileri, dönüşümlü voltametri, elektrokimyasal
impedans spektroskopisi ve elektroliz teknikleri kullanılarak değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar, aşındırılmış katalizörlerin, alkali ortamlarda HER için iyi bir
elektrokatalitik aktivitenin yanı sıra, kompakt ve gözenekli bir yapıya sahip
olduğunu göstermektedir.
