AbstractNi–Cu alloys are a suitable candidate as a catalyst in Hydrogen Evolution Reaction due to their catalytic performance and good stability. To enhance this activity more, the active surface area of the material should be enhanced. It is commonly achieved by the synthesis of metals and alloys in the form of nanostructures. In this work, Ni cones fabricated by the one-step method were applied as a substrate for the deposition of thin Cu layers. Then, these materials were annealed in an ambient atmosphere to obtain Ni–Cu structures. The investigation of changes in morphology and chemical composition, as well as roughness and wettability before and after the annealing process was performed. Moreover, the measurements of catalytic properties were carried out in 1 M NaOH. The values of the Tafel slope and the electrochemical active surface area were studied. The proposed method can be successfully applied to fabricate structures of other alloys for the desired properties.
