Abstract

We report on the electrochemical alteration of a nickel(II) bis-glyoximato complex into nickel-based nanoparticles at a glassy carbon electrode under acid reducing conditions. These particles show electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen production at +410 mV compared to the bare glassy carbon electrode. Mechanistic insights are discussed based on DFT calculations.
