We show in this communication that the polarization data of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can be analyzed to calculate the hydrogen surface coverage and the rate constants of the hydrogen discharge and recombination reactions for metals Which have very low permeabilities of hydrogen and on which the HER proceeds through a coupled Volmer discharge-Tafel recombination mechanism. The analysis is applied to the results of the HER on copper and iron. For both metals, this polarization analysis yields exchange current densities that are comparable to the Literature values and degrees of surface coverage which vary with potential in a manner that is well documented in the literature. The results on iron yield rate constants that are in a good agreement with those predicted in other studies using the Iyer, Pickering, and Zamanzadeh analysis.
