In this study, a trimetallic catalyst, NiWRu@NF, is electrodeposited onto nickel foam using chronoamperometry to enhance the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline water electrolysis. The catalyst combines nickel, tungsten, and ruthenium components, strategically designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, hydroxyl transfer and water dissociation, and acceleration of hydrogen combination, respectively. Evaluation of NiWRu@NF reveals exceptional performance, with a low overpotential of -50 mV and high current density of -10 mA cm -2 , signifying its efficiency in promoting HER. Tafel values further corroborate the catalyst's effectiveness, indicating a rapid reaction rate of hydrogen evolution in such a highly alkaline medium compared to other controls studied along with it. This study underscores the significance of NiWRu@NF in advancing alkaline HER kinetics, paving the way for more efficient electrolysis processes.
