Nano-porous Ni and nano-porous Ni₃S₂/Ni composite electrodes were prepared by dealloying and hydrothermal synthesis. The pore size distribution, phase and microstructure of the electrode were characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption test, XRD, SEM, TEM. In 1 mol·L^-1 NaOH solution, the electrocatalytic properties toward hydrogen evolution reaction of the electrode was evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and constant current electrolysis method. As a result, when the current density was 50 mA·cm^-2, the nano-porous Ni₃S₂/Ni composite electrode had a lower overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction and higher electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity than the nano-porous Ni, while nano-porous Ni₃S₂/Ni composite electrode had lower apparent activation energy and electron transfer resistance, it further clarifies the special contribution of transition metal sulfides to the performance of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
