Abstract: Ni-implanted Ti electrodes were treated by thermodiffusion in higher vacuum for 1 h at the temperature from 100 to 700℃, and the hydrogen evolution reaction was then studied at the electrodes in the solution of 0. 856 mol/L NaCl plus 0. 01 mol/L HCl. Two orders of magnitude increases in exchanging current density (io) were recorded for the .thermodif fusion-treated electrodes by comparison with the untreated. The effect is attributed to the increase of nickel concentration on the electrode surface.
