The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was investigated at nickel boride pressed powder electrodes in aqueous and in aqueous methanolic (ethanolic) alkaline (1 M NaOH) solutions in the presence and the absence of NaCl (0.1 M) and H3BO3 (0.1 M) at 25 °C by the steady-state polarization and ac impedance techniques. The ac impedance data were analyzed using the constant-phase element (CPE) model. It was found that the electrocatalytic behaviour of a nickel boride electrode for the HER was the same in all the above media and that the HER proceeds via the Volmer–Heyrovsky mechanism. The kinetic parameters of the HER were determined. Key words: hydrogen evolution reaction, nickel boride electrodes, Tafel curves, ac impedance, kinetic parameters.
