“…All the spectra consist in a displaced depressed capacitive semicircle, formed by two overlapping semi-circles, one for high frequencies and the other one for intermediate frequencies [52]. The physical explanation of these spectra was widely described by Herraiz-Cardona et al [51,[52][53][54]. The intermediate frequency semi-circle is related to the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) kinetics; while the high frequency semi-circle is related to the porosity of the electrode surface.…”

Electrochimica Acta. 186:598-612. doi:10.1016Acta. 186:598-612. doi:10. /j.electacta.2015 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used electrochemical measurement technique that has been used in a great spectrum of fields since it allows deconvolving the individual physic-chemical processes that take place in a given system. Ohm's generalized law, and thus the impedance concept, are only valid if 4 conditions are fulfilled: causality, finiteness, stationarity and linearity. In the case that any of these conditions is not achieved, the obtained impedance spectra will present distortions that may lead to biased or even erroneous results and conclusions. For this reason it is crucial to verify if the 4 conditions are fulfilled, before accepting the results extracted from impedance spectra. In this work, a linearity assessment quantitative method based in the total harmonic distortion (THD) parameter is presented and verified experimentally. The experimental validation of the implemented method showed that the implemented method is able to assess quantitatively the linearity of the system. In addition, it is also able to determine the threshold frequency above which the system will not present significant nonlinear effects even for large perturbation amplitudes. It was observed that the THD method is more sensitive to nonlinear effects than the spectra themselves.

In other words, an equilibrium state is reached between newly forming bubble and bubbles escaping from the surface of the electrode ( Ref 18,24). The inset in Fig.…”

Inspired by the more positive (about 0.38 V nobler) discharge potential of hydrogen on Ni-W alloy compared to that on both Ni and W, a Ni-W alloy has been developed electrolytically as an efficient electrode material for water electrolysis. The deposition conditions, for peak performance of the electrodeposits for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 M KOH medium have been optimized. Electrocatalytic activity of the coatings, deposited at different current densities (c.d.Õs) for water splitting reactions of HER and OER was tested by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. It was found that Ni-W alloys deposited, at 4.0 A/dm 2 (having about 12.49 wt.% W) and 1.0 A/dm 2 (having about 0.95 wt.% W) are good electrode materials as cathode (for HER) and anode (for OER), respectively. A dependency of the electrocatalytic activity for HER and OER with relative amount of Ni and W, in the deposit was found. The variation of electrocatalytic activity with W content showed the existence of a synergism between high-catalytic property of W (due to low hydrogen overvoltage) and Ni (having increased adsorption of OH 2 ions), for hydrogen (as cathode) and oxygen (as anode) evolution, respectively. Electrocatalytic activities of the coatings, developed at different c.d.Õs were explained in the light of their phase structure, surface morphology, and chemical composition, confirmed by XRD, FESEM, and EDX analysis. The effect of c.d. on thickness, hardness, composition, HER, and OER was analyzed, and results were discussed with possible mechanisms.
