چکیده
|
The nanoporous copper foam was prepared by electrochemical reduction of copper ion at the copper substrate. The as-prepared substrate was used as three-dimensional templates for preparation of Pt coated nanostructured Cu-foam by galvanic replacement of Cu with platinum by simply immersing the prepared nanoporous copper foam in a K2PtCl6aqueous solution. The structure and nature of the fabricated Pt coated nanostructured Cu-foam was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Pt coated nanostructured Cu-foam modified copper electrode exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction. The effect of electrodeposition time during Cu-foam formation on the kinetic constants for hydrogen evolution reaction was comparatively investigated.
