Abstract:
Decorating Au onto Ni aerogel via a one-step spontaneous gelation preserved the highly porous structure of Ni aerogel, and contributed to more active sites and enhanced intrinsic activity for water oxidation with low overpotential of 377 mV for the current density of 100 mA cm-2.

Catalysis
29.3K
The presence of a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that can increase the reaction rate without being consumed during the process. A basic comprehension of a catalysts’ role during chemical reactions can be understood from the concept of reaction mechanisms and energy diagrams.

Electrodeposition
1.0K
Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.
