摘 要:Ni-based metallic foams possessing large specific surfaces and open cell structures are of specific interest as catalysts or catalyst carriers for electrolysis of *** fabrication of Nickel foam limits the element modification choices to several inert transition metals only on polymer foam precursor and subsequent preparation of foam-based catalysts in aqueous solution or organic *** expand the modification horizon,molten salt with wide electrochemical window and fast ion diffusion can achieve the reduction of highly active ***,we reported is a general and facile method to deposit directly of highly reactive element La and prepare hierarchical honeycomb LaNi_(5) alloy on Ni foam(ho-LaNi_(5)/NF).This self-supporting electrode presents excellent electrical coupling and conductivity between the Ni foam and LaNi_(5),which provides a 3D self-supported heterostructure with outstanding electrocatalytic activity and excellent durability for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER).It exhibits excellent overpotential(1.86 V)comparable to commercial coupled IrO_(2)//Pt/C(1.85 V)at a high current density of 100 m A cm^(-2).This work may pave the way for fabricating novel 3D self-supported honeycomb alloy that can be applied as electrode for usage of clean energy.
