Manganese titanate (MnTiO3) powder was prepared via a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and tetrabutyl titanate as raw materials, and citric acid as a chelating agent. Through high temperature nitridation of MnTiO3 powder in ammonia, the MnO/TiN composite was obtained. The phase structure, composition and morphology of the composites were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes were studied by performing cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge and discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The MnO/TiN electrode delivered specific capacities of 394 mAh?g-1 and 146 mAh?g-1 at the current density of 100 mA?g-1 and 1 A?g-1, …

The Ni/Ag2O/RuO2-Pt composite cathode was prepared by sol-gel method using RuCl3 and H2PtCl6 as raw materials. The effects of heat treatment conditions and AgNO3 concentrations on hydrogen evolution properties were investigated. The morphology and composition of Ni/Ag2O/RuO2-Pt composite cathode have been characterized by XRD, XPS and SEM-EDS. It is demonstrated that the surface structure of Ni/Ag2O/RuO2-Pt composite cathode is more compact, with fewer cracks and larger surface roughness than pure nickel. At the conditions of 0.3 A?cm-2, 90 oC, and 11 mol?L-1 NaOH solution, the hydrogen evolution overpotential of Ni/Ag2O/RuO2-Pt composite cathode increases 484 mV with respect to pure nickel …
