Abstract

An effective route towards improving the electrocatalytic performance of materials is the synthesis of nanocrystalline, porous, and layer-structured materials. Herein, porous nickel tungstate (NiWO4) film electrode was prepared on stainless steel (SS) substrate by inexpensive successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. This method provides a binder-free, porous, and nanocrystalline thin layer on a SS substrate. The electrocatalytic performance of the nanocrystalline NiWO4 electrocatalyst was evaluated for enzymeless glucose measurement and water-splitting application. This electrocatalyst exhibited excellent sensitivity of 9731 μA mM−1 cm−2 within the linear range of 25–325 μM. Further, the glucose concentrations present in human blood samples were measured using the proposed nanocrystalline NiWO4 electrocatalyst. Also, hydrogen evolution reaction, the electrocatalyst exhibited 171 mV of overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 with a Tafel slope of 70 mV dec−1. Further, chronopotentiometry study was carried out at 100 mA cm−2 and it showed 94% retention after 24 h. These findings greatly promote the outstanding electrocatalytic performance of nanocrystalline and porous NiWO4 electrocatalysts that outline their applicability for electrochemical catalysis purposes.
