AB  - In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of Ni-Se electrode synthesized on 
      nickel foam by pulse electrodeposition was optimized through the design of 
      experiments (DOE) approach using the response surface methodology (RSM) for both 
      hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. The frequency (f), duty cycle (dc), 
      current density (i), and electrodeposition time (sum of t(on)s) were chosen as 
      the parameters of the pulse electrodeposition method. The analyses of variance 
      (ANOVA) were performed on the responses of the designed experiments that included 
      the required overpotential at the current density of 10 mA/cm(2) for hydrogen 
      evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) (eta(10,HER) and 
      eta(10,OER)), active surface area (R(f)) and intrinsic electrocatalytic activity 
      (i/R(f)). The results indicated that eta(10,HER), eta(10,OER), and R(f) are mainly 
      influenced by duty cycle and electrodeposition time, while i/R(f) is affected by 
      frequency and time. The optimized NiSe(2) electrode synthesized under optimal 
      conditions of pulse electrodeposition (low duty cycle and prolonged 
      electrodeposition time) showed the most desirable values for eta(10,HER), 
      eta(10,OER), and R(f), equal to 44 mV (vs. RHE), 235 mV (vs. RHE) and 14700, 
      respectively. The nanostructured NiSe(2) demonstrated the highest potential in 
      the bifunctional application of OER and HER.
