In this work, Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) is used in conjunction with the polygon scanner technique to fabricate textured polystyrene and nickel surfaces through ultra-fast beam deflection. For polystyrene, the impact of scanning speed and repetition rate on the structure formation is studied, obtaining periodic features with a spatial period of 21 μm and reaching structure heights up to 23 μm. By applying scanning speeds of up to 350 m/s, a structuring throughput of 1.1 m²/min has been reached. Additionally, the optical configuration was used to texture nickel electrode foils with line-like patterns with a spatial period of 25 μm and a maximum structure depth of 15 μm. Subsequently, the structured nickel electrodes were assessed in terms of their performance for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). The findings revealed a significant improvement in HER efficiency, with a 22% increase compared to the untreated reference electrode.
