The water electrolysis for production of hydrogen in the Brönsted acid ionic liquid[HMIm]HSO₄ aqueous solutions was investigated using glassy carbon (GC), platinum (Pt), and gold (Au) electrodes, respectively. It was found that the catalytic activity of the electrodes in the acid ionic liquid electrolytes ranked in sequence as Pt >Au >>GC. The optimal concentration of[HMIm]HSO₄ in aqueous solutions was 30% (V/V), and the catalytic current density on Pt electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at -0.5 V (Ag QRE) reached 110.52 mA/cm². This was 15 and 650-fold larger than the current on the Au and GC electrode, respectively. The Arrhenius activation energy of the Pt electrode in the electrolyte solution was 5.68 kJ/mol. The high catalytic activity of the electrode was attributed to the[HMIm]HSO₄ that would release protons enabling H₂O molecules ionization, and facilitating the capture of electrons from the electrode.
