Abstract

Seawater electrolysis presents a transformative technology for sustainable hydrogen production and environmental remediation. However, the lack of active and robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts severely impedes the development of this technology. Here, we report a sandwich-like nanostructured HER catalyst constructed by decorating both sides of nickel phosphide (Ni x P) microsheet arrays with nickel cobalt nitride (NiCoN) nanoparticles. The resulting integrated hierarchical sandwich-like catalyst (NiCoN|Ni x P|NiCoN) simultaneously provides a large surface area with abundant active sites, improved intrinsic activity of every active site, and high electrical conductivity for efficient charge transfer. Consequently, the NiCoN|Ni x P|NiCoN electrode exhibits very good HER activity, requiring a small overpotential of 165 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm –2 in natural seawater electrolyte, along with very impressive stability benefiting from the good chlorine-corrosion resistance of the inner Ni x P microsheet arrays. Our work paves a new route toward the design of hierarchical nonprecious catalysts for hydrogen generation from 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.
