主 题:Hydrogen production Hierarchical architecture Urea oxidation reaction Bifunctional catalyst
摘 要:Electrochemical water splitting is a sustainable and feasible strategy for hydrogen production but is hampered by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Herein,an effective approach is introduced to significantly decrease the cell voltage by replacing the anodic OER with a urea oxidation reaction(UOR).A Ni_(2)P/NiMoP nanosheet catalyst with a hierarchical architecture is uniformly grown on a nickel foam(NF)substrate through a simple hydrothermal and phosphorization *** Ni_(2)P/NiMoP achieves impressive HER activity,with a low overpotential of only 22 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)and a low Tafel slope of 34.5 mV dec^(−1).In addition,the oxidation voltage is significantly reduced from 1.49 V to 1.33 V after the introduction of 0.33 M ***,a two-electrode electrolyzer employing Ni_(2)P/NiMoP as a bifunctional catalyst exhibits a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2)at a cell voltage of 1.35 V and excellent long-term durability after 80 h.
