Abstract

Immobilizing platinum (Pt) single atoms on appropriate supports with optimized coordination environments and electronic structures is a promising strategy to address the problem of chlorine corrosion during seawater electrolysis. Herein, Pt single atoms on nickel‐vanadium layered double hydroxides (Pt‐SA/NiV‐LDH) matrix are fabricated for chlorine tolerance hydrogen generation. Due to the strong synergetic electronic interaction between atomically dispersed Pt and the ultrathin NiV LDH matrix, the adsorption/dissociation feature of *H 2 O, *OH, and *H are optimized as evidenced theoretically. The as‐fabricated Pt‐SA/NiV‐LDH electrode exhibits an exceptional mass activity (i.e., 30.98 times higher) compared to the commercial Pt/C, along with an ultra‐high turnover frequency (TOF) value of 9.90 s −1 in alkaline media. Impressively, only 207 mV overpotential is required to yield a current density of 2000 mA cm ‒2 in an electrolyte solution containing 1 m KOH and 2 M NaCl, indicating its robust resistance to chlorine. Moreover, this kind of material demonstrates remarkably low overpotentials of 130 and 215 mV to attain the industrial‐scale current densities of 1000 and 2000 mA cm −2 in alkaline seawater, accompanied by exceptional stability for 500 h working at 500 mA cm −2 . This work provides an insightful reference for the production of sustainable green hydrogen through seawater electrolysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
