Abstract
We report on the electrochemical behavior and shape evolution of Pd nanocubes (Pd NCs) and Pd nanooctahedrons (Pd NOs) with an average size of 9.8 and 6.9 nm, respectively, in aqueous alkaline medium in the potential range of the underpotential deposition of H (UPD H) and H absorption. While the Pd NCs and Pd NOs remain stable in the potential region of the UPD H, H absorption and desorption of absorbed H (Habs) induce structural changes to the Pd NPs, as indicated by the results of electrochemical measurements and identical location-transmission electron microscopy (IL-TEM) analyses. Because both Pd NCs and Pd NOs are known to be stable in the potential region of H absorption and Habs desorption in acidic medium and maintain their structure, the irreversible structural changes are attributed to their interfacial interaction with the aqueous alkaline medium. In the alkaline medium, the nanoparticle surface/electrolyte interfacial structure plays an essential role in the mechanism of Habs desorption that is observed at higher potentials than that in the acidic medium. Hydrogen desorption is substantially hindered due to the structure of the water network adjacent to the Pd nanoparticles or the interaction between hydrated cations and adsorbed OH on the nanoparticle surface, resulting in the trapping of a small amount of H (incomplete Habs desorption). It is proposed that H trapping and associated structural strain lead to the deformation of the Pd nanoparticles and the loss of their initial structure.

Abstract
We explore the use of two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 nanosheets as an electrocatalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). Using four commonly employed commercially available carbon based electrode support materials, namely edge plane pyrolytic graphite (EPPG), glassy carbon (GC), boron-doped diamond (BDD) and screen-printed graphite electrodes (SPE), we critically evaluate the reported electrocatalytic performance of unmodified and MoS2 modified electrodes towards the HER. Surprisingly, current literature focuses almost exclusively on the use of GC as an underlying support electrode upon which HER materials are immobilised. 2D MoS2 nanosheet modified electrodes are found to exhibit a coverage dependant electrocatalytic effect towards the HER. Modification of the supporting electrode surface with an optimal mass of 2D MoS2 nanosheets results in a lowering of the HER onset potential by ca. 0.33, 0.57, 0.29 and 0.31 V at EPPG, GC, SPE and BDD electrodes compared to their unmodified counterparts respectively. The lowering of the HER onset potential is associated with each supporting electrode's individual electron transfer kinetics/properties and is thus distinct. The effect of MoS2 coverage is also explored. We reveal that its ability to catalyse the HER is dependent on the mass deposited until a critical mass of 2D MoS2 nanosheets is achieved, after which its electrocatalytic benefits and/or surface stability curtail. The active surface site density and turn over frequency for the 2D MoS2 nanosheets is determined, characterised and found to be dependent on both the coverage of 2D MoS2 nanosheets and the underlying/supporting substrate. This work is essential for those designing, fabricating and consequently electrochemically testing 2D nanosheet materials for the HER.

Abstract
Low-coordination sites, including edges, kinks, and defects, play an important role in oxygen-reduction electrocatalysis. Their role was studied experimentally and theoretically for various Pt surfaces. However, the roughness effect on similar-sized nanoparticles that could elucidate the role of low-coordination sites has attracted much less attention, with no studies on Pd nanoparticles. Here, using Br- adsorption/desorption, we introduce an effective approach to reduce surface roughness, yielding Pd nanoparticles with smoother surfaces and an increased number of (111)-oriented facets. The resulting nanoparticles have a slightly contracted structure and narrow size distribution. Pt monolayer catalysts that contain such nanoparticles as the cores showed a 1.5-fold enhancement in specific and Pt mass activities for the oxygen reduction reaction compared with untreated ones. Furthermore, a dramatic increase in durability was observed with bromide-treated Pd(3)Co cores. These results demonstrate a simple approach to preparing nanoparticles with smooth surfaces and confirm the adverse effect of low-coordination sites on the kinetics of the oxygen-reduction reaction.

Abstract
With especial regard to hydrogen electrode, the theoretical fundamentals of electrode potential, the most important reference electrodes and the electrode potential measurement have been discussed. In the case of the hydrogen electrode, it have been emphasised that there is no equilibrium between the hydrogen molecule (H2) and the hydrogen (H+), hydronium (H3O+) ion in the absence of a suitable catalyst. Taking into account the practical aspects as well, the theorectical basis of working of hydrogen, copper-copper sulphate, mercury-mercurous halide, silver-silver halide, metal-metal oxide, metal-metal sulphate and “Thalamid” electrodes, has been discussed.

Abstract
The voltammetry of nanostructured palladium layers electrodeposited from a hexagonal liquid crystal phase onto platinum microdiscs show well defined peaks for the adsorption/desorption of hydrogen and surface oxidation/reduction in 2 M NaOH. These peaks are more clearly resolved than at smooth palladium and reveal the complications associated with hydrogen adsorption/desorption on palladium in aqueous alkaline solutions. The reduction of nitrite at the nanostructured palladium is also reported and it is shown that it occurs via a mechanism involving a chemical reaction between adsorbed hydrogen and adsorbed nitrite ion.
