| Abstract |
|
Nickel is a good electrocatalytic metal and nickel electrodes find many applications in different electrochemical fields. The nickel plated electrodes were prepared by electro-deposition technique on mild steel surface modified with in-situ deposition of nickel titanate. The SEM images shows that the nickel plating on nickel titanate modified mild steel shows better adherence than the nickel plating on bare mild steel surfaces. The extent of polarization of the nickel plating on mild steel with nickel titanate was lower than that of nickel plating on mild steel. The incorporation of nickel titanate on mild steel surface before nickel plating enhances physical, chemical and electrochemical properties of the plating film. |
