Pyrolysis of hexacarbonyl tungsten, W(CO)6, in 1-octadecene has been used to prepare colloidal tungsten, W, nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained W NPs has been spin-coated on graphite (C) electrodes. Heat treatment of the W/C electrodes at elevated temperatures (≥900 °C) allows the preparation of metallic W and Tungsten carbide (cas 11130-73-7) (W2[email protected]) thin films. The obtained W2[email protected] electrodes were used for hydrogen evolution studies (HER) in 0.5 M H2SO4. Cyclic voltammetry tests for 1000 cycles showed that W2[email protected] exhibit long term stability without significant drop in current density. The overpotential defined at 10 mA/cm2 is 310 mV vs. RHE giving an excellent catalytic activity for HER. Materials characterization has been achieved using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Here, EIS studies were used to access the charge-transfer resistance of tungsten carbide electrodes.
