摘要：

The hydrogen production by water electrolysis was tested with different electrocatalysts (molybdenum, nickel, iron alloys containing chromium, manganese and nickel) using aqueous solutions of ionic liquid (IL) like 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMI.BF4). The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was performed at room temperature in a potential of -1.7 V (PtQRE). A Hoffman cell apparatus was used to water electrolysis with current density values, j, between 14.6 mA cm(-2) (for Ni electrode) and 77.5 mA CM-2 (for Mo electrode). The system efficiency was very high for all electrocatalysts tested, between 97.0% and 99.2%. The energy activation values of HER was determined in an aqueous solution of BMI.BF4 10 vol.%, using platinum (23.40 kJ mol(-1)) and Mo (9.22 kJ mol(-1)) as electrocatalysts. The results show that the hydrogen production in IL electrolyte can be carried out with cheap material at room temperature, which makes this method economically attractive. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
