High-efficiency overall alkaline seawater splitting: using a nickel-iron sulfide nanosheet array as a bifunctional electrocatalyst

Jie Chen et al.

Summary: The use of nickel-iron sulfide nanosheet array on nickel foam as a bifunctional electrocatalyst demonstrates high-performance and cost-effective electrolysis of seawater for hydrogen production. It delivers a current density of 500 mA cm(-2) at overpotentials of 300 and 347 mV for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline seawater respectively. Moreover, it only requires a cell voltage of 1.85 V to drive 500 mA cm(-2) in a two-electrode electrolyzer, and shows strong stability for at least 50 hours of electrolysis in alkaline seawater, outperforming recently reported catalyst electrodes for seawater splitting.

Ligand Modulation of Active Sites to Promote Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution

Wenzhong Huang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a feasible ligand modulation strategy to boost the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity of cobalt-iron oxyhydroxide ((Fe,Co)OOH). By reducing the orbital overlap between the Fe/Co 3d and O 2p, the adsorption to oxygen-containing intermediates is weakened, which facilitates the O-2 desorption. The ligand-modulated (Fe,Co)OOH exhibits excellent OER performance with low overpotentials and high durability.
