Highly efficient and stable three-dimensional (3D) Ni nanodome (Ni-NDs) arrays were fabricated as candidate cathode materials for alkaline water splitting. The NDs were prepared by a combined methods of soft lithography-nanosphere lithography, physical vapor deposition (PVD) and electrochemical deposition using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as template. The water splitting activity of the 3D nanostructures were examined in 6 M KOH solution using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The data obtained showed that well-structured and uniformly distributed Ni-NDs could be fabricated using this combined method. The ND arrays perform excellent hydrogen evolution activity with respect to Ni plate as a reference point since their nano-sized roughness results in larger real surface area. By comparing with Ni plate, lower hydrogen onset potential (85 mV) and charge transfer resistance (90.1%) as well as higher current density (90.4%) corresponding to the amount of evolved hydrogen were observed at the NDs. The Ni-NDs have high time stability in the electrolysis conditions. It is believed that the Ni-ND arrays contribute to the design of novel electrocatalytic electrodes as candidate supporting materials. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
