Abstract

Simple electroless solutions plating have been applied to Mg₂Ni alloy: (i) Ni-plating solution using NiSO₄+NaPH₂O₂+NaH₂C ₆H₅O₇, (ii) a reducing solution using NaPH₂O₂+NaH₂C₆H₅O ₇, and (iii) acid solution consisting of CuSO₄+H₂SO₄. The electrochemical characteristics and performance of thus modified electrodes were examined using cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques with the microelectrode technique focusing on a single particle of the alloy. The results show that all applied surface modifications have significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity of the Mg₂Ni towards hydrogen absorption/adsorption processes compared to the untreated alloy. Among all the treated samples, the highest discharge capacity of 320 mAh/g, and the lowest charge-transfer resistance were obtained with Mg₂Ni alloy treated by copper plating method.
