It has been found that the Mo element in Ni4Mo alloy exhibits instability in alkaline water electrolyzer, enhancing the hydrogen evolution activity of metal Ni. Theoretical calculations and experimental results have shown that adding MoO42- to the electrolyte can repair the durability of the alloy and enhance the activity of cathodic materials.
NiMo alloys are efficient electrocatalysts in alkaline water electrolyzer for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Metals are usually considered to be stable during the cathodic process. However, the actual behaviors of Mo in the NiMo alloys are unexplored. Here, we present the instability of Mo in the Ni4Mo alloy as a highly efficient HER electrocatalyst in an alkaline medium. Mo in Ni4Mo is oxidized and dissolved in the form of MoO42- first. The dissolved MoO42- will re-adsorb on the electrode surface and polymerize. Theoretical calculations indicate that the adsorption of the dimer Mo2O72- can promote the HER activity of metal Ni. The addition of MoO42- to the electrolyte can not only repair the durability of Ni4Mo alloy, but also facilitate the HER activity of pure metal of Ni, Fe, and Co. Our findings provide insight into the structural transformation mechanism and performance-enhanced origin of cathodic materials under the reaction conditions.
