Abstract
In this study, hydrogen production capacity and energy efficiency of the alkaline water electrolysis system were improved by electrochemically modifying the Stainless-Steel (SS) electrodes. Ni metal was deposited onto the surface of SS electrodes for better cell performance. Both pristine and Ni-deposited plates were evaluated according to electrochemical cell performance, hydrogen production capacity, and energy efficiency. Additionally, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses were performed to investigate the crystallographic properties and surface morphology of electrodes.
