AB  - Efficient cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic water electrolysis rely on the use of expensive platinum group metals (PGMs). However, to achieve economically viable operation, both the content of PGMs must be reduced and their intrinsically strong H adsorption mitigated. Herein, we show that the surface effects of hydrogenated TiO2 nanotube (TNT) arrays can make osmium, a so far less-explored PGM, a highly active HER electrocatalyst. These defect-rich TiO2 nanostructures provide an interactive scaffold for the galvanic deposition of Os particles with modulated adsorption properties. Through systematic investigations, we identify the synthesis conditions (OsCl3 concentration/temperature/reaction time) that yield a progressive improvement in Os deposition rate and mass loading, thereby decreasing the HER overpotential. At the same time, the Os particles deposited by this procedure remain mainly sub-nanometric and entirely cover the inner tube walls. An optimally balanced Os@TNT composite prepared at 3 mM/55 °C/30 min exhibits a record low overpotential (η) of 61 mV at a current density of 100 mA cm-2, a high mass activity of 20.8 A mgOs-1 at 80 mV, and a stable performance in an acidic medium. Density functional theory calculations indicate the existence of strong interactions between the hydrogenated TiO2 surface and small Os clusters, which may weaken the Os-H* binding strength and thus boost the intrinsic HER activity of Os centers. The results presented in this study offer new directions for the fabrication of cost-effective PGM-based catalysts and a better understanding of the synergistic electronic interactions at the PGM|TiO2 interface.

AB  - Formation of the honeycomb-like electrodes of copper by the regime of reversing current (RC) in the second range has beeninvestigated. Morphological and structural characteristics of this electrode type obtained by various parameters of RC regimeswere examined by the techniques of scanning electron and optical microscopies, while the amount of hydrogen produced duringelectrodeposition process was quantified by determination of the average current efficiency for hydrogen evolution reaction. Tooptimize the process of formation of the honeycomb-like electrodes, the following parameters of square wave RC regimes wereanalyzed: the cathodic current density, the same anodic to cathodic time ratios but various durations of the cathodic and theanodic pulses, and the various values of the anodic to cathodic time ratios. The minimal amount of hydrogen spent for formationof the honeycomb-like electrodes with maximal number of holes formed from detached hydrogen bubbles is obtained with theanodic to cathodic time ratio of 0.50 and duration of the cathodic and anodic pulses of 2 and 1 s, respectively. To explainformation of the honeycomb-like electrodes of optimal morphological and structural characteristics, the upgraded mathematicalmodel defining the RC regime in the second range was proposed and discussed.

AB  - Herein, a novel composite material of coupled carbon fibers and Co1.5Mn1.5O4 spinel oxide crystals has
been fabricated by a facile twoͲstage process. In the first stage, fibers were produced by singleͲspinneret
electrospinning of polymer solutions with the cobalt and manganese acetate precursors. In the second stage, fibers
were heatͲtreated to convert them into composite structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed
the formation of composite fibers with spinel crystals deposited on the surface. Scanning transmission electron
microscopy (STEM) and energy dispersive XͲray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of composite fibers crossͲsection revealed
that carbon occupies space inside spinel rings. The composite electrode delivers a specific capacity of about 740 mAh
g

AB  - The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was studied at pure Ni and Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) composite coatings in 1 M NaOH solution at 25 °C. Ni-(Ebonex-supported Ir) coatings were electrodeposited from a nickel Watts bath containing different concentrations of suspended Ebonex/Ir particles (0–2 g dm−3) onto a Ni 40 mesh substrate. The surface morphology of the coatings was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the surface composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), whereas the electrochemical properties were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization measurements and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It was shown that the roughness factor of Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) composite coatings calculated relative to the surface area of the pure Ni sample increased with the increasing content of Ebonex/Ir particles in the bath to a maximum value of 40.6. All samples displayed a Tafel slope of about 60 mV dec−1 in the potential range corresponding to lower current densities for the OER. The increase of the apparent activity for the OER at Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) coatings compared with the pure Ni coating was attributed only to the increase of the electrochemically active surface area. Although the pure Ni coating initially exhibited higher intrinsic catalytic activity for the OER than the composite coatings, it also showed a drastic loss of activity after subjecting to continuous oxygen evolution at j = 50 mA cm−2 for 24 h (ΔE = 395 mV). At the same time, the OER overpotential at Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) coatings only negligibly increased after the stability test (ΔE = 22 mV). The improved retention of catalytic activity observed with Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) coatings was ascribed to the presence of IrO2, which inhibited the formation of the inactive γ-NiOOH phase.

AB  - In this work, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied on Ru coated Ti2AlC electrodes in 1.0 mol dm(-3) H2SO4 at 25 degrees C. Ti2AlC was found to be a highly stable substrate in sulfuric acid solutions due to the formation of a passivating oxide layer on the surface, which was confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of as-prepared and anodically treated Ti2AlC samples. Ru films were electrodeposited onto Ti2AlC substrates by cycling the potential of Ti2AlC in the solution containing 0.01 mol dm(-3) RuCl3 + 0.1 mol dm(-3) H2SO4 between -0.5 V and 0.4 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) at the sweep rate of 20 mV s(-1). Four Ru/Ti2AlC samples were prepared, obtained at 5, 10, 15 and 20 cycles of Ru electrodeposition. Characterization of samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the thickness of the electrodeposited Ru layers was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the most compact sample with the thickness of about 0.42 mu m was obtained after 5 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and steady-state polarization measurements showed that all Ru/Ti2AlC electrodes were exceptionally active for the HER. A Tafel slope of about -60 mV dec(-1) was observed on all polarization curves in the range of high cathodic current densities. Based on formal kinetics analysis, an appropriate mechanism for the HER on Ru/Ti2AlC was suggested.

Characterization of samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the thickness of the electrodeposited Ru layers was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the most compact sample with the thickness of about 0.42 mu m was obtained after 5 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and steady-state polarization measurements showed that all Ru/Ti2AlC electrodes were exceptionally active for the HER. A Tafel slope of about -60 mV dec(-1) was observed on all polarization curves in the range of high cathodic current densities. Based on formal kinetics analysis, an appropriate mechanism for the HER on Ru/Ti2AlC was suggested.

Ti2AlC was found to be a highly stable substrate in sulfuric acid solutions due to the formation of a passivating oxide layer on the surface, which was confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of as-prepared and anodically treated Ti2AlC samples.

AB  - The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied at electrodeposited Ni and Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) composite coatings in 1 mol dm-3 NaOH solution at 25 °C. The Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) coatings were electrodeposited from a nickel Watts type bath containing different amounts of suspended Ebonex/Ir(30 wt.%) powder particles (0-2 g dm-3) onto a Ni 40 mesh substrate. The electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization measurements. It was shown that the roughness factor of coatings increased to a maximum value of 27 with increasing the concentration of Ebonex/Ir particles in the deposition bath, while that of a pure Ni coating was found to be 3.2. In the whole potential range of the HER only one Tafel slope of about -120 mV dec-1 was observed at all polarization curves. Considerably improved intrinsic catalytic activity for the HER compared to pure Ni was achieved with the composite coating deposited from the bath with the lowest concentration of Ebonex/Ir particles (0.1 g dm-3). Further enhancement of the apparent catalytic activity for the HER of Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) composite coatings obtained at higher concentrations of suspended Ebonex/Ir particles in the bath was attributed only to the increase of their electrochemically active surface area. © 2015 Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
