The Interrelated Effect of Cations and Electrolyte pH on the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on Gold Electrodes in Alkaline Media

Abstract

In this work we study the role of alkali metal cation concentration and electrolyte pH in altering the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at gold (Au) electrodes. We show that at moderately alkaline pH (pH 11), increasing the cation concentration significantly enhances the HER activity on Au electrodes (with a reaction order ≈0.5). Based on these results we suggest that cations play a central role in stabilizing the transition state of the rate‐determining Volmer step by favorably interacting with the dissociating water molecule (*H–OH δ−–cat+). Moreover, we show that increasing electrolyte pH (pH 10 to pH 13) tunes the local field strength, which in turn indirectly enhances the activity of HER by tuning the near‐surface cation concentration. Interestingly, a too high near‐surface cation concentration (at high pH and high cation concentration) leads to a lowering of the HER activity, which we ascribe to a blockage of the surface by near‐surface cations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
