PG - 4865-4875 LID - 10.1166/jnn.2018.15269 [doi] AB - Ni NTs and CeO2-Ni nanotubes (NTs) have been prepared by galvanostatic electrodeposition in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) Templates. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) are used to characterize the prepared NTs. The results showed that the preparation process of CeO2-Ni NTs was accompanied by the formation of many new phases CeNix (x = 1, 2, 3.5 or 5) and preferential orientation crystal face of Ni in CeO2-Ni NTs is <111>, which is different from that Ni <200> in Ni NTs. Then linear scan voltammetry (LSV) is applied to test the electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen revolution reaction (HER) of the two electrodes in 1 M NaCl aqueous solution and find that both of the two materials exhibited good performance. Finally, the kinetics analyses from the HER process showed that Tafel slope b was mainly dependent on phase composition and electric conductivity of the electrode, while j0 was mainly dependent on its real specific surface area.
