This article reports on a method of using a nickel foam electrode coated with NiCoV-LDH and NiCo-LDH nanosheets for efficient water splitting performance. The electrode has a unique nanosheet-on-nanosheet structure that increases the electrochemical active specific surface area and accelerates the charge transfer of electrocatalytic reactions. Vanadium doping also improves the performance of the oxygen evolution reaction.
Alkaline water electrolysis is a promising strategy for the production of hydrogen and oxygen. However, developing high-efficiency non-precious electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a big chal-lenge. Here, we report a nickel foam-based electrode coated with NiCoV-LDH and NiCo-LDH nanosheets (denoted as NiCo-LDH@NiCoV-LDH/NF) by a two-step method for effi-cient water splitting performance. The NiCo-LDH@NiCoV-LDH/NF with unique nanosheet-on-nanosheet construction can enlarge the electrochemical active specific surface area greatly, and thus accelerate the charge transfer of electrocatalytic reactions. Besides, the doping of vanadium could also improve the OER performance. The electrode only requires a low overpotential for OER (260 mV at 100 mA cm-2), and HER (80 mV at 10 mA cm-2) reactions in 1.0 mol/L KOH solution at room temperature. Furthermore, in the two-electrode water splitting test, a current density of 10 mA cm-2 was achieved at 1.55 V using 1.0 mol/L KOH solution, with excellent durability of 40 h. This work provided a facile method for developing new bifunctional catalysts. (c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
