The electrochemical photo effect is analysed in terms of the Gurney model of electrochemical charge transfer. Various absorption processes and their effect on the proton discharge step of the hydrogen evolution reaction are treated and the dependence of the photo effect on radiation frequency and electrode potential is derived for each absorption process. The analysis is compared with the presently available experimental results and a useful application of the photo effect is outlined.

In this study, effectively conductive rGO (reduced graphene oxide) was used as the supporter both to promote charge transfer and to refine particle size of WC, to realize efficient and stable HER performance.

The shape of the charge transfer resistance Rct versus overpotentialh curves for the hydrogen evolution reaction (Volmer – Heyrovsky mechanism, Langmuir isotherm for adsorbed hydrogen) was analyzed. It was shown that, depending on the kinetic parameters of reaction steps, three cases are possible: (i) there are no extrema on these curves; (ii) there is one maximum; (iii) there are a minimum and a maximum. Some ways for obtaining kinetic parameters from the curves with extrema are discussed. It was shown that the rate constants and transfer coefficients of all steps can be determined from logRct–h curve alone if there are a minimum and maximum of Rct in cathodic region. In the absence of the extrema, the amount of kinetic information gained from logRct–h plots is considerably reduced.
