dc.description.abstractNi-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf> composite coating has been developed through electrodeposition method by depositing titanium dioxide (TiO<inf>2</inf>) nanoparticles parallel to the process of Ni-Mo alloy coating. The experimental results explaining the increased electrocatalytic activity of Ni-Mo alloy coating on incorporation of TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles into its alloy matrix is reported here. The effect of addition of TiO<inf>2</inf> on composition, morphology and phase structure of TiO<inf>2</inf> – composite coating is studied with special emphasis on its electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1.0 M KOH solution. The electrocatalytic activity of alloy coatings were validated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry (CP) techniques. Under optimal condition, TiO<inf>2</inf> – composite alloy coating represented as (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> is found to exhibit the highest electrocatalytic activity for HER compared to its binary alloy counterpart. The increased electrocatalytic activity of (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> composite coating was attributed to the increased Mo content, porosity and roughness of coating, affected due to addition of TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles, supported by SEM, EDX, XRD and AFM study. The increased electrocatalytic activity of (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> coating was found due to decreased R<inf>ct</inf> and increased C<inf>dl</inf> values, demonstrated by EIS study. Better electrocatalytic activity of (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> coating, compared to (Ni-Mo)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> coating has been explained through mechanism. Experimental study revealed that (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> composite coating follows Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism, compared to Tafel mechanism in case of (Ni-Mo-TiO<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2.0 A dm?2</inf> coating, assessed on the basis of Tafel slopes. © 2018
