| description | In this work, we have synthesized NiO, NiS and NiSe nanoparticles by similar hydrothermal method and the electrocatalytic activities of the graphite carbon-supported synthesized materials have been compared in reference to hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) in aqueous acidic and alkaline media respectively. The as-synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopic studies. The best electrocatalyst, NiSe provides a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 259 mV overpotential for OER in 1.0 M KOH, which is superior to that of the state-of-the-art catalyst RuO2 in the same environment. For HER the best electrocatalyst, NiSe provides a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 49.5 mV overpotential in 0.5 M H2SO4, which is again superior to Pt wire electrode. The order of electrocatalytic activity in both HER and OER has been found to follow the sequence: NiSe > NiS > NiO under the same electrochemical conditions, as have been evident from cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic studies. While the electrochemical surface area is increased by 16.4 % and 37.3 % on changing the electrocatalyst from NiO to NiS and NiSe respectively, the chronoamperometric current densities are increased by 429 % and 635 % at 0.8 V for OER and 548 % and 9733 % at −0.4V for HER on changing the same materials. Thus, the enhancement in catalytic activity hangs mainly on the material characteristics besides the morphological improvement. |
