The development of hydrogen storage and conversion technologies, such as electrolyzers and fuel cells, significantly benefits from the electrochemical deposition of platinum (Pt). This process is also crucial for creating coatings for internal combustion engines and electronic devices. Conventionally, Pt electrochemical deposition occurs in acidic media, which efficiently dissolves Pt salts but necessitates the use of expensive, corrosion-resistant substrates like noble metals and other critical raw materials such as titanium (Ti). This research explores the alkaline electrochemical deposition of Pt, aiming to overcome the limitations associated with acidic media. The study begins with developing strategies to dissolve commonly used Pt precursors from acidic baths into stable complexes suitable for alkaline environments. Various protocols, including chronoamperometric and potentiometric ones, are employed to evaluate the Pt electrodeposition on substrates such as nickel (Ni) foams and stainless steel meshes, which are relevant to alkaline water electrolysis. Optimization of the electrochemical deposition parameters is carried out to enhance the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of the resulting electrodes. The most HER-active electrodes are then tested as cathodes in alkaline electrolyzers (AELs), demonstrating superior performance compared to commercially available platinized Ti felts. These advanced AELs can operate at high current densities (≥1 A cm⁻2) at cell voltages below 2 V, thereby rivaling state-of-the-art acidic water electrolysis systems. Looking forward, the alkaline electrodeposition of Pt presents a sustainable approach to the usage of Pt in green hydrogen production. Pt recovered from operating or end-of-life electrolyzers and fuel cells can be reused to restore or enhance the catalytic activity of cathodes in alkaline water electrolysis, ensuring efficient and eco-friendly Pt utilization.
