摘要
This paper describes the preparation of Ni-Zn and Ni-Co-Zn coatings by electrodeposition on a mild steel substrate. After treatment in a KOH solution to leach out part of the zinc, the materials were evaluated as cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline solutions. The materials were found to have high surface areas and low Tafel slopes. Overpotentials at current densities of technological interest are significantly lower than those of the traditional materials used in water electrolysis.
