Effect of Surfactants on Electrocatalytic Performance of Copper Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

In this work, effect of different types of surfactants on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) onto copper nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (nano-Cu/CPE) was studied. In this way,SDS, CTAB, and TX-100 were used as anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants, respectively.Among these surfactants, SDS had the best efficiency with the lowest over-potential for hydrogen evolution in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution.
