چکیده

در این پژوهش، ابتدا نانوذرات هیدروکسید نیکل از طریق روش الکترودپازیشن بر روی فوم نیکل (NF) لایه‌نشانی شدند. سپس، مکسین کربید تیتانیوم (Ti₃C₂) با استفاده از تکنیک الکتروفورتیک در ولتاژهای مختلف (۱، ۳ و ۵ ولت) و زمان‌های متفاوت (۱۰، ۲۰ و ۳۰ دقیقه) بر روی آن پوشش داده شد و درنهایت الکترود Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF ساخته شد. تصاویر میکروسکوپ الکترونی روبشی نشر میدان (FESEM) نشان‌دهنده‌ی ساختار نانویی متخلخل الکترود Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF بود. طیف‌سنجی مادون قرمز بازتاب کلی تضعیف‌شده (ATR) و پراش پرتو ایکس (XRD) ترکیب شیمیایی و ساختار بلوری الکترودهای ساخته شده را تأیید کردند. اندازه‌گیری‌های الکتروشیمیایی نشان داد که بهینه‌‌ی شرایط لایه‌نشانی الکتروفورتیک Ti₃C₂، ولتاژ ۳ ولت و زمان ۳۰ دقیقه است که بهترین عملکرد را در واکنش تولید هیدروژن (HER) از خود نشان می‌دهد. این پژوهش الکترود Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF را به‌عنوان جایگزینی امیدوارکننده برای الکتروکاتالیست‌های گران‌قیمت و کمیاب مبتنی بر فلزات نجیب معرفی می‌کند و تأثیر ولتاژ و زمان لایه‌نشانی الکتروفورتیک مکسینTi₃C₂ بر فعالیت HER این الکترود را به‌خوبی نشان می‌دهد.

چکیده English

In this study, nickel hydroxide nanoparticles were deposited on nickel foam (NF) via electrodeposition, and then titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂) MXene was coated using the electrophoretic deposition technique at different voltages (1, 3, and 5 V) and times (10, 20, and 30 min), resulting in the Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF electrode. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed the porous nanostructure of the Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF electrode. Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the chemical composition and crystalline structure of the synthesized electrodes. Electrochemical measurements indicated that the optimal deposition voltage and time for HER were 3 V and 30 min, respectively. This research introduced the Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF electrode as a promising alternative to rare and expensive electrocatalysts and demonstrated the effect of voltage and time on the electrophoretic deposition of Ti₃C₂ MXene on the HER activity of the Ti₃C₂ MXene/Ni(OH)₂/NF electrode.
