The study designed a sandwich-like Ni3S2-MoS2-Ni3S2@Ni foam (NMN-NF) catalyst, which showed excellent bifunctional catalytic activity and long-term durability in salty water.
The exploitation of cost-effective bifunctional seawater electrocatalyst is an attractive technology to generate hydrogen fuel. Sustainable seawater splitting requires catalysts with robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity as well as superior chloride corrosion resistance in the salty electrolyte. Here we designed a sandwich-like Ni3S2-MoS2-Ni3S2@Ni foam (NMN-NF) catalyst on the surface of Ni foam by stacking Ni3S2 coatings as top and bottom protective layers (chloride anticorrosion), and MoS2 as an interlayer to trigger both HER and OER in salty water. The unique sandwich structure endowed NMN-NF catalysts with excellent bifunctional catalytic activity and long-term durability in alkaline seawater electrolytes. Taking advantage of the synergistic effect between MoS2 and Ni-3 S-2, NMN NF delivered a current density of 100 mA/cm(2) at a low voltage of 1.82 V under operating over 100 h in alkaline seawater, allowing them a promising catalyst towards practical application for efficient seawater splitting.
