Abstract: Iron (Fe) nanoparticles and graphite (Gr) with different masses of bismuth trisulfide (Bi2S3) were mixed by high-energy ball milling treatment to fabricate the corresponding composite iron anodes Bi2S3@Fe-Gr. The hydrogen evolution reaction and iron passivation process on these iron electrodes were investigated in alkaline and neutral solutions. The iron electrode Bi2S3-3@Fe-Gr (The additional amount of Bi2S3 was 3 mg) revealed the strongest ability to inhibit hydrogen evolution among the iron electrodes of the present investigation, while the Bi2S3-6@Fe-Gr electrode (The additional amount of Bi2S3 was 6 mg) delivered significant performance in inhibiting anodic passivation. This is because the high-energy ball milling process leads to the well-dispersion of Bi2S3 and the changes in the surface of Fe nanoparticles, thereby slowing down the passivation of the iron electrode surface.
