High electrocatalytic effect of Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles electrodeposited on microwave assisted sol-gel-derived carbon ceramic electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction

► A simple and rapid approach was used to prepare Au-Pd alloy bimetallic NPs on MWCCE. ► Microwave-assisted carbon ceramic electrode was used for electrodeposition of nanoparticles. ►Au(1)Pd(3) modified electrode showed highest electrocatalytic activity than other modified electrode toward HER.
