ResumoA composite electrode as hydrogen cathodes composed of Ti2Ni hydrogen absorbing alloys and a Ni-Mo electrocatalyst was prepared for alkaline water electrolysis. The electrocatalytic properties of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are carried out in a 30 wt% KOH solution at 70 °C. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the cathode were also examined. The experimental results show that the composite cathode has a low hydrogen overpotential (ca. 60 mV at 70 °C in 30 wt% KOH) and excellent stability under conditions of continuous electrolysis and intermittent electrolysis with power interruption shutdown. The stability mechanism of the cathode against intermittent electrolysis is discussed.
