Developing novel hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts with high activity, high stability and low cost is of great importance for the applications of hydrogen energy. In this work, iridium-nickel (Ir-Ni) thin films were electrodeposited on a copper foam as electrocatalyst for HER, and electrodeposition mechanism of Ir-Ni film was studied. The morphology and chemical composition of thin films were determined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy, respectively. The electrocatalytic performances of the films were estimated by linear sweep voltammograms, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The results show that Ir-Ni thin films were attached to the substrate of porous structure and hollow topography. The deposition of Ni was preferable in the electrolyte without the addition of additives, and Ir-Ni thin film was alloyed, resulting in high deposition rate for Ir42Ni58 thin film, and subsequently an increase of Ir content in the thin films of Ir80Ni20 and Ir88Ni12. Ir-Ni thin films with Tafel slopes of 40-49 mV·dec-1 exhibited highly efficient electrocatalytic activity for HER. The electrocatalytic activity of Ir-Ni thin films showed a loading dependence. As the solution temperature raised from 20 oC to 60 oC, the hydrogen evolution performance of Ir-Ni thin films improved. The apparent activation energy value of Ir88Ni12 film was 7.1 kJ·mol-1. Long-term hydrogen evolution tests exhibited excellent electrocatalystic stability in alkaline solution.

Transition metal sulfides are cheap and efficient catalysts for water splitting to produce hydrogen; these compounds have attracted wide attention. Nickel sulfide (NiS2) has been studied in depth because of its simple preparation process, excellent performance and good stability. Here, we propose a modification to the hydrothermal synthesis method for the fabrication of a highly efficient and stable NiS2 electrocatalyst prepared by two different sulfur sources, i.e., sulfur powder and C3H7NaO3S2 (MPS), for application in hydrogen evolution reactions. The obtained NiS2 demonstrated excellent HER performance with an overpotential of 131 mV to drive -10 mA cm−1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution with 5mV performance change after 1000 cycles of stability testing. We believe that this discovery will promote the industrial development of nonprecious metal catalysts.
