Active in alkaline environment : The activity of nickel, silver, and copper catalysts for the electrochemical transformation of water to molecular hydrogen in alkaline solutions was enhanced by modification of the metal surfaces by Ni(OH) 2 (see picture; I =current density and η =overpotential). The hydrogen evolution reaction rate on a Ni electrode modified by Ni(OH) 2 nanoclusters is about four times higher than on a bare Ni surface.
