Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the kinetics and control the electrodeposition process of Fe-Ni-Mo alloys in order to obtain deposits with desired characteristics for application in the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this way, deposits with different compositions will be obtained, which will be studied from the point of view of their growth kinetics, in addition to the properties of the deposits in relation to morphology and surface area, using experimental design. The application of these alloys in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HDR) will be carried out by polarization curves and stability tests in continuous electrolysis.
