Amorphous NiB produces a thicker reconstruction layer than crystalline NiB in terms of capacitance during the electrochemical activation process. Charge transfer at the reconstructed NiB/NiOOH interfaces plays a crucial role in electrocatalytic activity.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
