Effect of Co Addition in Amorphous Ni-Based Alloys for the Alkaline Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An amorphous alloy Ni74.2Co5Nb12.5Y8.3 was synthesized using cryogenic mechanical alloying and evaluated as a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media using cyclic voltammetry and Tafel measurements. Electrochemical testing showed that the amorphous alloy possessed a lower Tafel slope and enhanced kinetics for the OER compared to crystalline Ni and Ni95Co5. Anodic cycling of the amorphous alloy resulted in a lower onset potential for the OER and decreased Tafel values while no changes were observed for crystalline Ni95Co5. Pairing of in situ confocal Raman spectroscopy with anodic cycling showed that the amorphous alloy formed reversible hydrous Co oxy/hydroxides instead of irreversible CoO2 typically seen on crystalline NiCo alloys in KOH. The formation of hydrous Co oxy/hydroxides upon cycling was also accompanied by increased formation of β-NiOOH leading to enhanced catalytic performance of the amorphous alloy over the crystalline counterparts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
