Abstract
The synthesis of hybrid platinum materials is fundamental to enable alkaline water electrolysis for cost-effective H2 generation. In this work, we have used a galvanostatic method to co-deposit PtNi films onto polycrystalline gold. The surface concentrations of Ni (ΓNi ) and Pt (ΓPt ) were calculated from electrochemical measurements; the ΓPt /ΓNi ratio and electrocatalytic activity of these materials towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1 M KOH show a strong dependence on the current density pulse applied during the electrodeposition. Analysis of the Tafel parameters hints that, on these deposits, HER proceeds through a Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism. The galvanostatically deposited PtNi layers present a high current output per Pt gram, 3199 A gPt -1 , which is significantly larger compared to other PtNi-based materials obtained by more extended and more complex synthesis methods.

Abstract
Alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been used in electrochemical microfabrication processes. The reductive desorption potential of alkanethiol SAMs, Edes, can be comparable to, greater than, or less than the metal reduction potential during electrodeposition, Emet. As a result, the SAM layer can passivate the surface or desorb simultaneously with metal deposition. We show that these electrochemical traits can be combined with a rastering microjet electrode to pattern SAMs directly and create patterned metal films without lithography steps. For the case of copper deposition on 1-octanethiol (OT)- and 1-dodecanethiol (DT)-coated substrates, Edes is significantly negative of Emet, resulting in high-resolution metal patterns with poor nucleation and poor adhesion to the substrate. However, nickel patterns deposited on 1-butanethiol (BT), OT, and DT have traits similar to bare gold (excellent nucleation and adhesion) because Edes is positive of Emet. Substrates with SAMs also suppress adventitious chemistries that occur distant from the rastering microjet electrode, such as oxygen reduction, making samples more corrosion resistant and improving the overall patterning process that we call electrochemical printing.

Abstract
The influence of effective deposition potential on the orientation and diameter of Bi(1-x)Sbx alloy nanowire arrays by pulsed electrodeposition technique was reported. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis show that the orientation of the Bi(1-x)Sbx nanowires can be turned from the [110] to the [202] direction by increasing the effective deposition potential, and the nanowires fully fill in the pores of the AAM in the lower potential region, while in the higher potential region the nanowires partly fill the pores of the AAM. The origin of those phenomena and the growth mechanism of the nanowire are discussed together with composition analysis.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) in the attenuated-total-reflection configuration (ATR-SEIRAS) has been applied for the first time to Ni electrodes. SEIRA-active Ni electrodes were obtained through initial chemical deposition of a 60-nm-thick Au underlayer on the reflecting plane of an ATR Si prism followed by potentiostatic electrodeposition of a 40-nm-thick Ni overlayer in a modified Watt's electrolyte. The Ni nanoparticle film thus obtained exhibited exceptionally enhanced IR absorption for the surface probe molecule CO while maintaining unipolar and normally directed bands. With the advantages of ATR-SEIRAS, free H2O molecules coadsorbed with CO at the Ni electrode were revealed, and their role in the electrooxidation of the CO adlayer at the Ni electrode is discussed. In addition, the conversion of bridge to linearly bonded CO at Ni electrode in a neutral solution was clearly identified upon electrooxidation of the CO adlayer. ATR-SEIRAS was also used to characterize the adsorption configuration of a pyridine adlayer at the Ni electrode. Both A1 and B1 modes of adsorbed pyridine were detected with comparably large intensities, essentially maintaining the spectral feature of pyridine molecules rather than that of "alpha-pyridyl species", which strongly suggests an "edge-tilted pyridine" configuration present at the Ni electrode, a configuration intermediate between the "end-on pyridine" and "edge-on alpha-pyridyl" adsorption modes reported in the literature.

Abstract
Large-area ordered Ni nanowire arrays with different diameters have been fabricated by the direct current electrodeposition into the holes of porous anodic alumina membrane. The crystal structure and micrograph of nanowire arrays are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the growth orientation of Ni nanowires turns from [110] to [111] direction with increasing diameters of nanowires. The mechanism of the growth was discussed in terms of interface energy minimum principle. The size-dependent orientation of Ni nanowire arrays has the important significance for the design and control of nanostructures.
