Abstract

The activity and stability of nickel phosphides including electrodeposited nickel phosphide, Ni<sub>12</sub>P<sub>5</sub> and Ni<sub>2</sub>P are tested. Under acid conditions activity and stability improves with phosphorus content. Surface treatment of Ni<sub>2</sub>P is shown to lead to further activity improvements.
