AB  - Noble metal-based materials are inevitable components of cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in future water electrolysis systems for clean hydrogen fuel production. However, designing active and durable nanostructured catalysts with low amount of costly noble metals is still a great challenge. Herein, we show that Pd nanoparticles (NPs) can be synthesized on the highly developed surface of anodically grown TiO2 nanotube (TNT) arrays by applying a simple galvanic displacement strategy. In a two-step procedure, air-annealed TNT arrays are first cathodically protonated and then partially reoxidized by Pd(II) ions from a PdCl2 solution while providing a scaffold for the metallic Pd deposit. Structural and electrochemical characterizations reveal that the Pd content and the width of the Pd-populated zone of the tube walls are in correlation with the tube length. The Pd"TNT composites display remarkable HER activity in 1 M HClO4 delivering a current density of -10 mA cm(-2) at an overpotential of -38 mV and a Tafel slope of only -13 mV/dec. More impressively, the mass and apparent activity of the Pd"TNTs is superior to even commercial Pt/C at higher current densities. The composites also show stable chronopotentiometric response over 25 h and a negligible HER overpotential increase after potential cycling tests. The exceptional performance of the Pd"TNT cathodes is assigned to the unique semiconducting properties of the three-dimensional, interactive TNT supporting structures that, on the one hand, provide abundance of Pd active sites with optimized atomic hydrogen binding energy for the cathodic HER, but on the other hand, prevent anodic degradation of the Pd catalyst.

AB  - Electrodeposited NiSn alloy coatings onto Ni 40 mesh substrate were tested for application as cathodes and anodes in the cell for alkaline water electrolysis in 30 wt% KOH at 80 degrees C. The "accelerated service life test" (ASLT) was performed for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), as well as for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and compared to that recorded for the Ni coating (Ni-dep) and Ni-mesh for both reactions. The morphology and chemical compositions of the NiSn and Ni coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), while their surface composition was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after the ASLT for both reactions, respectively. By measuring the potential at j = 0.3 A cm (-2) it was shown that during the ASLT the NiSn alloy coating catalytic activity for the HER decreases (about 24 mV after 25 cycles), while the catalytic activity for the OER increases (about 50 mV after 25 cycles), so that the cell voltage decreases for about 26 mV. The Ni-dep and Ni-mesh electrodes catalytic activity was found to increase for the HER (for about 103 mV), as well as for the OER (for about 52 mV) during the ASLT. Hence, the cell voltage for the Ni-dep and Ni-mesh electrodes decreased from 2.402 V to 2.245 V during the ASLT, while that for the NiSn electrode decreased from 1.967 V to 1.941 V. The cell voltage saving with the NiSn electrodes amounts to about 435 mV before the ASLT and about 304 mV after the ASLT. SEM results showed that no changes in the morphology of as prepared samples could be detected after the ASLTs for both reactions. EDS analysis confirmed that some changes occurred during the ASLT, particularly for the oxygen content in the surface layer. Similar conclusions were made from the XPS analysis.

AB  - Tungsten based support was prepared by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde from ammonium metatungstate, in the presence cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) surfactant. Pd nanocatalyst on this support was synthesized by borohydride reduction method. The obtained materials were characterized by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical measurements. TEM analysis revealed Pd nanoparticles size in the range of a few nanometers, even the clusters of single Pd atoms. X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy was applied to determine surface composition of the substrates. It was found that tungsten based support consisted of W, WC and WO3 species. The presence of metallic palladium - Pd(0) in the Pd/W"WCWO3 catalyst was revealed, as well. The catalytic activity and stability for the oxygen reduction were investigated in acid and alkaline solutions, by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at the rotating disc electrode. The catalysts' activities were compared to the carbon supported Pd nanoparticles (Vulcan XC 72). WC supported Pd nanoparticles have shown high activity and superior stability, comparable even to Pt based catalysts, especially in alkaline electrolytes.

AB  - The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied in 0.5 M H2SO4 at 25 degrees C on Pd electrodeposited onto Ti2AlC substrate, as an excellent substrate due to its high conductivity and high stability in concentrated sulfuric acid. Pd was electrodeposited onto Ti2AlC by pulse technique from the solutions containing different concentrations of PdCl2 in 1 M NH4Cl. It was shown that in all investigated solutions Pd electrodeposition occurs by the diffusion-controlled 3D nucleation and growth. Two types of Pd electrodeposits were submitted to the study of the HER by the polarization measurements and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The surface of Pd samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and by atomic force microscopy (AFM). High catalytic activity for the HER was observed for all investigated samples. The Tafel slope of -64 mV dec(-1) was recorded for the Pd layer electrodeposited at 20 mV vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) for 5 s, mainly composed of isolated hemispherical 3D Pd centers and dendrites (sample (2)), while for Pd electrodeposit with the theoretical thickness of 1000 nm (sample (1)) Tafel slope of -143 mV dec(-1) was detected. All Tafel slopes recorded for the investigated samples could be explained by the Volmer-Tafel mechanism for the HER assuming Temkin adsorption isotherm, with either of the steps (Volmer or Tafel step) being the rate-determining one. By the analysis of the EIS results similar slopes for the E vs. log (R-F)(-1) dependences were observed for all investigated samples respectively, while the electrochemically active surface area (EASA), obtained by the integration of the charge for Pd-oxide reduction was found to be the highest for the sample (1). The exchange current densities corrected for the EASA were presented for all samples.

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.

AB  - The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the feasibility of partial replacement of dichromate, Cr(VI), with phosphate buffer, focusing on the cathode reaction selectivity for hydrogen evolution on mild steel and Fe-Mo cathodes in undivided cell for chlorate production. To evaluate the ability of phosphate and Cr(VI) additions to hinder hypochlorite and chlorate reduction, overall current efficiency (CE) measurements in laboratory cell for chlorate production on stationary electrodes were performed. The concentration of hypochlorite was determined by a conventional potentiometric titration method using 0.01 mol dm(-3) As2O3 solution as a titrant. The chlorate concentration was determined by excess of 1.0 mol dm(-3) As2O3 solution and excess of arsenic oxide was titrated with 0.1 mol dm(-3) KBrO3 solution in a strong acidic solution. Cathodic hypochlorite and chlorate reduction were suppressed efficiently by addition of 3 g dm(-3) dichromate at both cathodes, except that Fe-Mo cathode exhibited higher catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The overvoltage for the HER was around 0.17 V lower on Fe-Mo cathode than on mild steel at the current density of 3 kA m(-2). It was found that a dichromate content as low as 0.1 g dm(-3) is sufficient for complete suppression of cathodic hypochlorite and chlorate reduction onto Fe-Mo catalyst in phosphate buffering system (3 g dm(-3) Na2HPO4 + NaH2PO4). The overall current efficiency was practically the same as in the case of the presence of 3 g dm(-3) dichromate buffer (98%). However, for the mild steel cathode, the overall current efficiency for the chlorate production was somewhat lower in the above mentioned mixed phosphate + dichromate buffering system (95%) than in the pure dichromate buffering solution (97.5%).

abstract = "The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the feasibility of partial replacement of dichromate, Cr(VI), with phosphate buffer, focusing on the cathode reaction selectivity for hydrogen evolution on mild steel and Fe-Mo cathodes in undivided cell for chlorate production. To evaluate the ability of phosphate and Cr(VI) additions to hinder hypochlorite and chlorate reduction, overall current efficiency (CE) measurements in laboratory cell for chlorate production on stationary electrodes were performed. The concentration of hypochlorite was determined by a conventional potentiometric titration method using 0.01 mol dm(-3) As2O3 solution as a titrant. The chlorate concentration was determined by excess of 1.0 mol dm(-3) As2O3 solution and excess of arsenic oxide was titrated with 0.1 mol dm(-3) KBrO3 solution in a strong acidic solution.

AB  - In this manuscript a survey of the contemporary research related to platinum nanocatalysts on metal oxide based supports for low temperature fuel cell applications is presented. Different carbon based supports, used as state of the art materials, are listed and discussed, as well. Although carbon based materials possess many desirable properties, such as high surface area, high conductivity and relatively low cost and easy synthesis, the large scale commercialization is limited by instability under accelerated stability testing, simulating real fuel cell operating conditions. To overcome these disadvantages of carbon supports, different metal oxide based ones have been studied and promising results are referenced. The most often used oxide based supports for low temperature fuel cell applications are presented in this review. Suitable discussion and future research related remarks are given, as well.

AB  - Ruthenium oxide/titanium oxide, with a Ru:Ti atomic ratio of 7:3 was synthesized by modified sol-gel procedure and used as a support for platinum nanocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction. The synthesized materials were characterized in terms of morphology, particle size distribution, chemical and phase composition by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high angle annular dark filed scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF, STEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). XPS spectra revealed that Ru atoms were in mainly in Ru(4+) oxidation state, the Ti atoms in Ti(4+) oxidation state, whereas the Pt-atoms were in metallic state. TEM analysis proved that platinum nanoparticles nucleated at both oxide species and homogeneous distribution was observed. The average platinum nanoparticle size was 3.05 nm. Electrochemically active surface area of platinum was 32 m(2) g(-1). Kinetics of the oxygen reduction was studied at rotating disc electrode in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C. The catalytic activities expressed in terms of specific activity (per electrochemically active surface area of platinum) and mass activity (per mass of platinum) were determined and compared to Pt catalyst on carbon support. The high catalytic activity was proven by electrochemical characterization.

AB  - In order to examine the intrinsic catalytic activity and durability of the electrodeposited NiSn alloy electrodes and the electrodeposited Ni as a reference electrode material for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solutions, a comparative investigation was performed. A series of NiSn electrodes were prepared by electrodeposition of NiSn alloys at different current densities onto a Ni40 mesh substrate. The surface morphology and chemical composition were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical surface characteristics were studied by cyclic voltammetry in order to find interdependence between the nickel oxyhydroxide surface electrochemistry and the activity of the electrode for the OER Quasi steady-state polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to determine kinetically significant parameters including the Tafel slopes and exchange current densities. Two well-defined Tafel slopes, the same for all investigated NiSn electrodes, were observed at the polarization curves, indicating that the OER was controlled by the same mechanism. It was demonstrated that any anodic polarization pretreatment led to a shift of the anodic and cathodic current peaks corresponding to the Ni(II)/Ni(III) redox transition towards cathodic potentials and, consequently, to some activation of the NiSn electrodes. The opposite behavior was obtained for the Ni electrode. Prolonged anodic polarization led to a loss of the initial catalytic activity of the Ni electrode, which was explained by the increase in the portion of gamma-NiOOH at the Ni electrode surface. Among the investigated NiSn electrodes, the NiSn100 electrode, prepared by electrodeposition at the highest cathodic current density of - 100 mAcm(-2), exhibited the highest apparent catalytic activity for the OER, entirely due to surface roughness effects. Despite the fact that the NiSn electrodes did not exhibit better intrinsic catalytic activity than Ni, their high stability during the OER and acceptable apparent activity made them promising anodes for alkaline water electrolysis.

AB  - Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 consist of two phases of anatase and rutile structure. An average size of the Pt nanoparticles supported on them is similar to 3.5 nm and they are deposited on both Ru and Ti-rich domains. The supports exhibited good conductivity and electrochemical stability. The onset potentials of COads oxidation on the synthesized catalysts and on commercial PtRu/C are similar to each other and lower than that on Pt/C. This suggests that in Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 and Pt/Ru0(.7)Ti(0.3)O(2) the Pt nanoparticles are in close contact with Ru atoms from the support, which enables the bifunctional mechanism. The activity and stability of the catalysts for methanol oxidation were examined under potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. While the activity of Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 is unsatisfactory, the performance of Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 is comparable to PtRu/C. For example, in the potentiostatic test at 0.5 V the activities after 25 min are 0.035 mA cm(-2) and 0.022 mA cm(-2) for Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 and PtRu/C, respectively. In potentiodynamic test the activities at 0.5V after 250 cycles are around 0.02 mA cm(-2) for both catalysts.

AB  - Nanocomposite cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were prepared by deposition of RuOx catalyst particles on self-organized titania nanotube (TiNT) arrays of highly developed surface area, following a procedure that involved the initial cathodic intercalation of H+ into the TiNT walls and the subsequent two-step ion-exchange process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses of obtained Ru-TiNT samples revealed that the concentration of RuOx particles in the size range of a few nanometers was the highest at the surface of the TiNT layer and steadily decreased to a minimum value at about 4.5 mu m inside the tubes. The capacitive behavior and electrocatalytic activity for the HER of Ru-TiNT nanocomposites, hydrogenated TiNT samples (H-TiNT) and compact TiO2 were investigated in 1.0 M HClO4 solution at room temperature by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Mott-Schottky analysis and steady-state polarization measurements. It was shown that cathodic hydrogenation treatment induced a four orders of magnitude higher concentration of electron donors in TiNT structures providing their quasimetallic behavior in the range of potentials corresponding to the HER. Ru-TiNT cathodes exhibited a more than 250 mV lower overpotential for the HER with respect to bare H-TiNT substrates at the current density of -50 mA cm (2). A decrease of the Tafel slope from about -120 mV/dec for H-TiNT samples to as low as -70 mV/dec for the Ru-TiNT sample with longer tubes was explained by the formal kinetics approach.

AB  - In this work the "service life test" (SLT) of the NiSn alloy coatings as cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), deposited onto Ni 40 mesh at different current densities from the bath containing 0.1 mol dm(-3) SnCl2 + 0.3 mol dm(-3) NiCl2 + 0.6 mol dm(-3) K4P2O7 + 0.3 mol dm(-3) NH2CH2COOH at 50 degrees C, was investigated and compared with that recorded for the commercial Ni-RuO2 De Nora's (DN) cathode. The morphology and chemical compositions of all NiSn samples were investigated by SEM and EDS techniques before and after the SLT. HER during the SLT has also been monitored by EIS technique. The chemical compositions of surfaces of all NiSn alloy samples, as well as EIS results, were found to depend on the number of cycles performed during the SLT. The decrease of their catalytic activity for the HER in 32 wt.% NaOH at 90 degrees C with increasing the number of cycles (about 20-25 mV after 25 cycles) was practically identical to that for DN cathode, while NiSn samples deposited at -30 mA cm(-2), -60 mA cm(-2) and -100 mA cm(-2) possessed lower overpotential for the HER before and after SLT in comparison with that for the DN cathode. It is confirmed by the SEM-EDS and EIS analysis of the NiSn samples that the minor loss of the catalytic activity for the HER is the consequence of the change of chemical composition of NiSn coatings and decrease of the active surface area. This decrease is ascribed to partially eroded NiSn coatings due to oxygen evolution during the SLT.

AB  - The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied on Ni, Ni-Ebonex and Ni-(Ebonex-Ru) coatings in 1 mol dm(-3) NaOH solution at 25 degrees C. The composite coatings were electro-deposited from a nickel Watts-type bath containing suspended Ebonex (chemical composition mainly Ti4O7) or Ebonex-supported Ru(10 wt.%) particles (0-10 g dm(-3)) onto Ni mesh substrate. The electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in combination with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization measurements. These investigations showed that the roughness factor of the Ni-(Ebonex-Ru) and the Ni-Ebonex coating was 29 and 6 times higher than that of a pure Ni coating, respectively. In the whole potential range of the HER only one Tafel slope of about -120 mV was present at the polarization curves of Ni and Ni-Ebonex electrodes, with increased activity of the latter being attributed only to the increase of the electrochemically active surface area. The Ni(Ebonex-Ru) electrodes exhibited the highest intrinsic catalytic activity with two Tafel slopes, indicating also that the HER takes place exclusively. on Ru active sites.

AB  - The electrodeposition of Ni-MoO2 composite coatings is a specific process taking place under defined hydrodynamic conditions. In this work the influence of hydrodynamics, current density, and MoO2 concentration on the electrodeposition of Ni-MoO2 coatings from a suspension of MoO2 particles in a Watt’s type bath were investigated by comparison of their polarization characteristics for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1 M NaOH at room temperature. It was shown that electrolyte and air flow rates influence the process of coating electrodeposition at low concentrations of MoO2. With increases in MoO2 concentration the current density became the main parameter influencing the coatings’ properties. The best coating, with the lowest over-voltage for the HER, was obtained from the suspension containing 3 g dm-3 of MoO2 particles. The over-voltage of this coating was 57 mV lower for the HER at j = –0.3 A cm-2 (the current density used in industrial applications) than that for the commercial De Nora’s Ni + RuO2 electrode.

AB  - In this work, the effect of aging of the electrolyte in the electrodeposition of Ni MoO2 composite coatings on their morphology (scanning electron microscopy), chemical composition (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), polarization characteristics and "service life", tested for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 32 mass % NaOH at 90 degrees C, was investigated. Polarization characteristics and results of the "service life" test of Ni MoO2 composite coatings obtained after different aging periods of the electrolyte for deposition (suspension of MoO2 powder particles in a solution containing 2 M NH4Cl + + 0.2 M NiCl2) were compared with that recorded for the commercial De Nora's Ni+RuO2 cathode coating (DN). It was shown that aging of the electrolyte did not influence the morphology and chemical composition of Ni MoO2 composite coatings electrodeposited under conditions simulating their industrial production, while the polarization characteristics for the HER were influenced. The best coating, obtained after 180 days of electrolyte aging, showed a completely different (layered) structure of the deposit and significantly better performance than the commercial DN electrode during the "service life" test.

The morphology and chemical compositions of all samples were investigated by the SEM and EDS techniques. It was shown that their morphologies and chemical compositions depend on the deposition current density. The increase of their catalytic activity for the HER in 6 mol dm(-3) KOH and in 1 mol dm(-3) NaOH with increasing the deposition current density was shown to be the consequence of the change of both: their chemical composition and morphology.

AB  - The oxygen reduction reaction was studied at Pt nanocatalysts on two different tin oxide based supports, Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, in acid solution. Tin oxide based supports were synthesized by hydrazine reduction method. Physical characterization of the supports was performed by BET, X-ray diffraction and TEM techniques. SnO2 belonging peaks were detected in Sb-SnO2 powder, while Ru-SnO2 XRD diffraction patterns contained peaks of RuO2 and SnO2. The average crystallite sizes, determined by Scherrer equation, were 3 nm and 4 nm for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Pt catalysts on Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2 supports were synthesized by borohydride reduction method. TEM analysis revealed homogeneous particle size distribution, with average particle size of 2.9 and 5.4 nm, for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Electrocatalytic activity and stability of these catalysts for oxygen reduction were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode (RDE). Pt catalysts on Sb and Ru doped SnO2 support exhibited catalytic activities comparable to Pt on commercial carbon based support. Stability tests were also performed. Determined small loss of electrochemical active surface area of the Pt catalyst on Sb doped tin oxide support, after repetitive cycling, indicated high stability and durability of this cathode for-prospective fuel cells application.

AB  - Ru-doped SnO2 powder, (RuxSn1-x)O-2, with a Sn:Ru atomic ratio of 9:1 was synthesized and used as a support for Pt nanoparticles (30 mass % loading). The (RuxSn1-x)O-2 support and the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction measurements, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The (RuxSn1-x)O-2 was found to be a two-phase material consisting of probably a solid solution of RuO2 in SnO2 and pure RuO2. The average Pt particle size determined by TEM was 5.3 nm. Cyclic voltammetry of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 indicated good conductivity of the support and displayed the usual features of Pt. The results of the electrochemical oxidation of COad, and methanol on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 were compared with those on commercial Pt/C and PtRu/C catalysts. Oxidation of COads on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 starts at lower positive potentials than on PtRu/C and Pt/C. Potentiodynamic polarization curves and chronoamperometric curves of methanol oxidation indicated higher initial activity of the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 catalyst compared to PtRu/C, but also a greater loss in current density over time. A potentiodynamic stability test of the catalysts revealed that deactivation of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 and Pt/C was primarily caused by poisoning of the Pt surface by residues of methanol oxidation, which mostly occurred during the first potential cycle. In the case of PtRu/C, the poisoning of the surface was minor and deactivation was caused by surface area loss of the PtRu.

AB  - Ruthenium doped titanium oxide support was synthesized. The support was characterized by BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller) and X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD). Determined specific surface area was 41 m(2) g(-1). XRD revealed presence mainly TiO2 anatase phase and some peaks belonging to rutile phase. No Ru compounds have been detected. Platinum based catalyst on this support was prepared by borohydride reduction method. The catalyst was characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM, HAADF) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Homogenous Pt particle distribution over the support, with average Pt nanoparticle diameter of 3 nm was found. This novel catalyst was tested for oxygen reduction in acid solution. It exhibited remarkable higher catalytic activity in comparison with Pt/C, as well as with Pt nanocatalysts at titanium oxide based supports, reported in literature.

AB  - MoO3 particles were co-deposited with Ni onto smooth or rough Ni supports from modified Watt baths of different compositions. Morphology and composition of the electrodeposits were characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic activity of the composite catalysts for H-2 evolution in alkaline solutions was determined by quasi-stationary polarization curves. Activity increases with MoOx content in the Ni deposit up to a limiting value. The composite Ni-MoOx catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity, similar to that of a commercial Ni-RuO2 catalyst. Stability tests showed that the Ni-MoOx co-deposits were stable under constant current conditions and exhibited excellent tolerance to repeated short-circuiting.

AB  - In this work the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) onto Ni-Sn alloy coatings deposited at different current densities from the bath containing 0.1 M Sn2+ and 0.1 M Ni2+ ions in the pyrophosphate-glycine solution, was investigated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Their morphology and chemical composition were investigated by scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), while the phase composition was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). It was shown that their chemical composition, phase composition and morphology depend on the deposition current density. In deposited samples all detected phases, face centered cubic (fcc) Ni, close packed (hcp) hexagonal Ni3Sn, hexagonal Ni(1-i-x)Sn (0  lt  x  lt  0.5) which adopts NiAs structure type and monoclinic Ni3Sn4 (CoSn structure type), were of low crystallinity. The increase of the Ni-Sn alloy coatings catalytic activity for HER in 6 M KOH with increasing the deposition current density was shown to be the consequence of the change of all three parameters: chemical composition, phase composition and morphology, with the effect of morphology being the most pronounced.

AB  - As a result of research on the non-noble metal-based composite electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the Ni-MoO2 composite coating was produced by electrodeposition from an NH4Cl and NiCl2 containing solution with suspended MoO2 powder particles, exhibiting almost the identical activity for the HER as the commercial cathode in conditions of industrial application and satisfactory mechanical stability. In this work, investigations were extended to the kinetics and mechanism of the HER on the Ni-MoO2 electrode in 8 M NaOH solution at 30 degrees C. The steady-state polarization curve for the HER was characterized by only one Tafel slope of -122 mV/dec. Kinetic parameters for the HER, as well as a contribution of surface roughness to the catalytic activity, were evaluated using an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. On the basis of the presented theoretical model for the faradaic impedance of the HER, the rate constants of the individual steps were determined by simulating both polarization and EIS experimental data. It was found that the reaction equally proceeds via the Volmer-Heyrovsky and Volmer-Tafel routes at lower overpotentials, while at higher overpotentials the Volmer-Heyrovsky pathway dominates the process with the Heyrovsky step being the rate determining step (rds). A comparison of intrinsic activities of the Ni-MoO2 composite and a flat Ni electrode proved that the combination of Ni and MoO2 produced a true catalytic effect for the HER.

AB  - In this work polarization characteristics and "service life" test of the non-noble metal composite coatings Ni-MoOx and Ni-MoO2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 32 wt.% NaOH at 90 degrees C were investigated and compared with that recorded for De Nora's commercial Ni + RuO2 cathode coating (DN). It was shown that under conditions of industrial application in the "zero-gap" membrane cells the lowest over-voltage for HER has been recorded for the Ni-MoO2 coating. At the same time the "service life" test was performed on all three electrodes in the same solution. This test was based on monitoring the current density response before and after repetitive cycling of these electrodes with 50 mV s(-1) in the potential range from hydrogen (-1.25 V vs. SCE) to oxygen (0.50 V vs. SCE) evolution. It was shown that the activity for all electrodes at the end of a "service life" test dropped to approximately 54% of the initial value, being comparable with the results obtained for Pt-based cathodes. The SEM-EDS analysis of the electrodes after the "service life" test showed that the Ni-MoO2 is much more stable than the Ni-MoOx composite coating and could be promising replacement for the commercial cathode.

AB  - Platinum nanocatalysts on two tungsten based supports have been synthesized and characterized as catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C. Tungsten based support assigned WCctabr has been synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of CTABr surfactant. Support assigned WCwo(3) was synthesized from resorcinol/formaldehyde gel, using WO3 nanoparticles as starting material. Supporting materials have been characterized by BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) technique and determined values of surface area were 80 m(2) g(-1) for WCctabr and 175 m(2) g(-1) for WCWO3. Platinum nanocatalysts (10% Pt) at tungsten based supports have been prepared by borohydride reduction method. Both synthesized supports and catalysts have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) techniques. Cyclic voltammetry was applied for determination of electrochemically active surface area (40 m2 g(-1) for Pt/WCWO3 and 55 m(2) g(-1) for Pt/WCctabr). Oxygen reduction reaction has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disc electrode (RDE). These catalysts exhibited better catalytic activity, expressed in terms of kinetic current density per real surface area at the constant potential and better stability, in comparison with Pt/C catalyst, as well as with already reported catalytic activity values for Pt catalysts on tungsten based supports.

AB  - The catalytic activity of WC/Pt electrocatalysts towards hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in acid solution was studied. Tungsten carbide (WC) prepared by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of ammonium metatungstate salt and CTABr surfactant was used as the support of a Pt electrocatalyst (WC/Pt). The obtained WC/Pt electrodes were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, EDS, EELS and electrochemical measurements. HRTEM analysis showed that the WC particles possess a core-shell structure with a metallic tungsten core and a shell composed of a mixture of tungsten carbides shell (WC and W2C). The WC/Pt catalyst is composed of well-dispersed sub-nanometer Pt clusters which consist of a few to several tens of Pt atoms. EELS measurements indicate that the WC particles function as nucleation sites for Pt nanoparticles. Based on the Tafel-Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism the corresponding kinetic equations were derived to describe the HOR current-potential behavior over the entire potential region on RDE. The fitting showed that in the lower potential region HOR on Pt proceeds most likely via the Tafel-Volmer (TV) pathway. The kinetic results also showed that the WC/Pt(1%) when compared to the standard C/Pt(1%) electrode led to a remarkable enhancement of the hydrogen oxidation in an acidic medium, which was explained by H-spill-over between platinum and tungsten carbide.
