Abstract

The hydrogen evolution reaction was studied in 1 mol/L KOH solution on the hydrogen storage alloy Mm(NiCoMnAl) 5 electrode using open circuit potential decay and ac impedance technique. The reaction was found to proceed by the Volmer(discharge)-Tafel(recombination)mechanism. The measured overpotential η can be subdivided into two components η 1 and η 2 corresponding to the elementary Volmer and Tafel reaction. The Faradaic impedance was analyzed and characterized by the Volmer reaction. Then the exchange current density was evaluated . It was founded that the activity of hydrogen storage alloy electrode for the hydrogen evolution reaction was similar to that of Ni electrode.
