Abstract

Nickel–Polyester samples were produced using polyester resin and metallic particles of nickel. A scanning electron microscopy study shows that the prepared surface produced from nickel particles dispersed in the polyester and thermally treated consists of a porous network. Nickel–Polyester composites with resistivity values around 10-1–10-3 Ω cm have been analysed as potential oxygen evolution electrodes in an alkaline medium. The dependence of the electronic parameters on the morphological features of the nickel–polyester samples is evident from the study carried out with samples prepared at different conditions.
