Abstract: Nickel-sulphur alloy coating electrodes were prepared on the nickel substrates by electrodeposition method in a modified Watts using thiourea (TU) and sulphosalicylic acid as sulphur source and modifier, respectively. Adsorption effect of sulphosalicylic acid on the electrochemical activities, grain sizes, textures and sulphur contents of Ni-S deposits were studied by means of electrochemical methods, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the sulphosalicylic acid accelerates the nucleation processes and hinders grain growth. The Ni-S deposits obtained from bath containing sulphosalicylic have higher sulphur contents, obvious amorphous textures and much smaller grain sizes than those from the bath without additive. Ni-S alloys as a cathode materials of alkaline water electrolysis have higher hydrogen evolution activities and better adhesion. The adhesion increases with the increase of sulphosalicylic acid concentration, and reaches 19 MPa at 5 g/L sulphosalicyclic acid. At the same time, the hydrogen evolution overpotential is the lowest at 5 g/L sulphosalicylic acid, which is 13 mV lower than that of the bath without additive.
Key words: sulphosalicylic acid; Ni-S deposits; electrochemical activity; adhesion
