Abstract

The electrocatalytic behavior of nanocrystalline Co30Ni 70, Co40Mo60, Ni40Mo60, Co15Ni30Mo55, Fe10Co 35Ni55 and Co15Fe30Ni55 mol-% alloys on the oxygen evolution reaction [OER] in a 30 wt-% KOH aqueous solution at 298, 323 and 343 K has been assessed in this work. Appreciable currents for oxygen evolution reactions were measured at Ni-Co-Mo-Fe electrodes produce by this technique. It was also found that iron increased the electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction, but it was not as good as obtained on hydrogen evolution reaction [HER]. Tafel plots of preoxidized and prolonged cycled Co30Ni70, Co40Mo 60, Ni40Mo60, Co15Ni 30Mo55, Fe10Co35Ni55 and Co15Fe30Ni55 crystalline electrodes were very different, which might be related to changes in the surface enrichment of one or two of the alloy constituents. The electrocatalytic effects Mo seem to be more important on the OER at high temperatures than those showed previously for HER. Nickel and Molybdenum rich alloys showed particularly high activity towards the OER in comparison with their nanocrystalline counterparts. copyright The Electrochemical Society.
