| Abstract | Electro-oxidation of surface β-Ni(OH)$_{2}$ residing on metallic Ni to β-NiOOH was studied in 0.5 M aqueous KOH at 277 K ≤ T ≤ 318 K by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chrono-amperometry (CA). The process is accompanied by a diffusion of H$^{+}$ within the surface oxide phase. The formation of β-NiOOH gives rise to an anodic peak in CV profiles, the potential of which depends on the scan rate (s). An analysis of the relation between the anodic peak current density (j $_{peak, AN}$) and s indicates that the growth of β-NiOOH is controlled by the diffusion of H$^{+}$ and its modelling leads to the determination of the diffusion coefficient of H$^{+}$ (D(H$^{+}$)). In the case of 277 K ≤ T ≤ 318 K, the values of D(H$^{+}$) are of the order of 10$^{–11}$ cm$^{2}$ s$^{–1}$, when calculated with respect to the electrode’s geometric surface area (A $_{geom}$), and of the order of 10$^{–12}$ cm$^{2}$ s$^{–1}$, when calculated with respect to the electrochemically active surface area (A $_{ecsa}$). The activation Gibbs energy of H$^{+}$ diffusion (Δ$_{diff}$ G $^{≠}$(H$^{+}$)) is in the 19.5–22.6 kJ mol$^{–1}$ range. Chrono-amperometry transients for the formation of β-NiOOH are analyzed on the basis of finite-space diffusion, with the assumption that β-NiOOH can be formed through three mechanistic pathways. The values of D(H$^{+}$) determined for both A $_{geom}$ and A $_{ecsa}$ using this approach are of the order of 10$^{–12}$ cm$^{2}$ s$^{–1}$. They are smaller than the analogous values of D(H$^{+}$) determined on the basis of CV measurements but the values of Δ$_{diff}$ G $^{≠}$(H$^{+}$) obtained using these two experimental approaches are comparable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
