Abstract
The electrocatalytic activity of newly developed Fe-based bulk metallic glasses was evaluated by polarization and impedance measurements in deaerated 1M KOH solution at room temperature. The electrocatalytic activity as well as the glass-forming ability of the Fe73C3Si7.3B8.5P5.7Mo2.5 alloy was improved by the partial substitution of Fe with 13.5 at% Co. In hydrogen evolution reaction, the metallic glasses exhibited higher activity than the activity of_x000D_
G14 (Fe60B10Si10Co20) metallic glass, which has been reported to be comparable to the activity of Pt electrode. The activity was further improved after a chemical pretreatment in 1 M HF solution for 1 min due to the formation of cobalt-rich layer with a large effective surface area.
