Alleviating the Work Function of Vein-Like CoXP by Cr Doping for Enhanced Seawater Electrolysis

Yanyan Song et al.

Summary: Seawater is preferred for mass production of hydrogen fuel by electrochemical water splitting due to its abundant reserves on Earth, but current seawater electrolysis technology is hindered by low selectivity and poor stability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, vein-like Cr-doping CoxP is designed as a highly-efficient OER electrocatalyst for direct seawater electrolysis, achieving high current densities and stability. The electronic structure regulation induced by Cr doping alleviates the work function of CoxP, accelerating electron transfer and lowering energy barriers for OER and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Je Min Yu et al.

Summary: Highly efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in neutral electrolytes are crucial for practical water splitting technologies. However, there is a lack of good neutral OER electrocatalysts due to poor stability and slow kinetics at neutral pH. In this study, Ir species nanocluster-anchored, Co/Fe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanostructures were developed, which showed enhanced OER kinetics at neutral pH.

Liming Deng et al.

Summary: Efficient and durable cobalt-ruthenium oxide nano-heterostructures (CoOx/RuOx-CC) are successfully synthesized on carbon cloth using a rapid solution combustion strategy for acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

Strong-Proton-Adsorption Co-Based Electrocatalysts Achieve Active and Stable Neutral Seawater Splitting

Ning Wang et al.

Summary: Direct electrolysis of pH-neutral seawater to generate hydrogen faces an anodic competition issue between the chlorine evolution and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), resulting in low current density and limited operating stability. In this study, a proton-adsorption-promoting strategy has been proposed to increase the OER rate, allowing for enhanced and stable neutral seawater splitting. Palladium-doped cobalt oxide (Co3-xPdxO4) catalysts exhibit the best performance with an OER overpotential of 370 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) in pH-neutral simulated seawater, outperforming Co3O4 by 70 mV. Co3-xPdxO4 catalysts also demonstrate long-term stability in neutral seawater, with 450 hours at 200 mA cm(-2) and 20 hours at 1 A cm(-2). Experimental and theoretical analyses suggest that the inclusion of SPA cations accelerates the rate-determining water dissociation step in the neutral OER pathway, while ruling out additional OER sites as a main factor.
