I am working on new electrocatalysts for HER and OER so I need to determine their Overpotiential, so can I cast them on nickel working electrode intead of glassy carbon working electrode?
Hey there Basel Samy
Absolutely, you Basel Samy can use nickel as a working electrode in a three-electrode system for your potentiostat setup. Nickel is a common choice for electrochemical studies due to its stability and conductivity, especially in applications like yours focusing on electrocatalysis.
When it comes to assessing overpotentials for your new electrocatalysts, casting them on a nickel working electrode instead of a glassy carbon one should be feasible. Just ensure that the surface preparation of the nickel electrode is suitable for your experiments, as surface characteristics can influence electrochemical behavior.
Experimentation with different electrode materials is a crucial part of optimizing electrochemical systems, so incorporating nickel as your working electrode could provide valuable insights into the performance of your electrocatalysts.
Best of luck with your research on HER and OER electrocatalysts! If you Basel Samy have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask me.
