A NiFe/MoC catalyst is prepared and optimized for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline seawater electrolysis. The catalyst exhibits high current density and low overpotential, demonstrating excellent performance and stability for seawater electrolysis.
In alkaline seawater electrolysis, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is greatly suppressed by the occurrence of electrode corrosion due to the formation of hypochlorite. Herein, a catalyst consisting of MoC nanowires modified with NiFe alloy nanoparticles (NiFe/MoC) on nickel foam (NF) is prepared. The optimized catalyst can deliver a large current density of 500 mA cm-2 at a very low overpotential of 366 mV in alkaline seawater, respectively, outperforming commercial IrO2. Remarkably, an electrolyzer assembled with NiFe/MoC/NF as the anode and NiMoN/NF as the cathode only requires 1.77 V to drive a current density of 500 mA cm-2 for alkaline seawater electrolysis, as well as excellent stability. Theory calculation indicates that the initial activity of NiFe/MoC is attributed to increased electrical conductivity and decreased energy barrier for OER due to the introduction of Fe. We find that the change of the catalyst in the composition occurred after the stability test; however, the reconstructed catalyst has an energy barrier close to that of the pristine one, which is responsible for its excellent long-term stability. Our findings provide an efficient way to construct high-performance OER catalysts for alkaline seawater splitting. The nanowire arrays composed of RuNi alloy nanoparticles and MoC are fabricated. The fabricated nanowire arrays exhibit an overpotential of 366 mV at a current density of 500 mA cm-2 with robust stability over 1000 h in the seawater, among the best OER catalysts reported to date.image
