Abstract

A novel nanorod (RuTi)O2 composite cathode has been prepared via a facile and controllable approach. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and linear scanning voltammetry (LSV) were used to scrutinize the electrodes and the electrochemical performance. The results reveal that the designed nanorod (RuTi)O2 composite cathode displays high electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution evolution (HER) in alkali solution with a low onset overpotential. For driving a cathodic current density of 100 mA cm-2, it only needs overpotential of 220 mV. Such excellent performance of the NR-(RuTi)O2/Ti could be ascribed to the unique surface structure with more active sites to be utilized during the HER.
