Kinetic study of hydrogen evolution reaction on Ni{sub 30} Mo{sub 70}, Co{sub 30}Mo{sub 70}, Co{sub 30}Ni{sub 70} and Co{sub 10}Ni{sub 20}Mo{sub 70} alloy electrodes

The hydrogen evolution reaction on nanocrystalline Ni{sub 30}Mo{sub 70}, Co{sub 30}Mo{sub 70}, Co{sub 30}Ni{sub 70}, and Co{sub 10}Ni{sub 20}Mo{sub 70}, metallic powders prepared by mechanical alloying was investigated with linear polarization and ac impedance methods, in 30 wt.% KOH aqueous solution at room temperature. The formation process and structural properties of these nanocrystalline materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Alloyed powders showed the presence of two phases: an fcc solid solution and intermetallic compounds of Ni, Co and Mo. Based on polarization and ac impedance measurements, an improved electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction was observed in mechanically alloyed Co{sub 30}Ni{sub 70} powders, which is slightly higher than milled metallic Ni powders.
