Development of highly effective and stable electrocatalyst as full water electrolyzers is essential for the energy production process. In this study, binder-free and self-made Ni-Fe-Co nanostructure electrode was developed using electrodeposition method, and its electrocatalytic properties were investigated for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. The fabricated electrocatalyst exhibited excellent properties for the evolution of H and O. Ni-Fe-Co nanostructure film required overpotentials of 91 mV for HER and 316 mV for OER in order to create a current density of 10 mA cm. Furthermore, the Tafel slope for HER and OER was measured as 86 and 43 mV/dec, respectively. In addition, the resulting electrode showed outstanding electrocatalytic stability, in which following a long period of electrolysis, the necessary overpotential to maintain a current density of 100 mA cm remained constant. This bifunctional electrode enables alkaline water electrolyzers, which can provide a current density of 10 mA cm under a cell voltage of 1.6 V. Such desirable performance of fabricated electrode as an electrocatalyst for full water splitting can be attributed to high active surface area factor, the synergistic effect of the elements, and rapid separation of bubbles from the electrode surface. This study provides a new method for the rapid construction of efficient electrocatalyst for renewable energy sources.
开发高效稳定的全水电解槽电催化剂对能源生产过程至关重要。在本研究中,采用电沉积法制备了无粘结剂的自制Ni-Fe-Co纳米结构电极,并研究了其在碱性介质中析氢反应(HER)和析氧反应(OER)的电催化性能。制备的电催化剂在析氢和析氧方面表现出优异的性能。为了产生10 mA cm的电流密度,Ni-Fe-Co纳米结构薄膜在HER中需要91 mV的过电位,在OER中需要316 mV的过电位。此外,HER和OER的塔菲尔斜率分别测量为86和43 mV/dec。此外,所得电极表现出出色的电催化稳定性,即在长时间电解后,维持100 mA cm电流密度所需的过电位保持恒定。这种双功能电极可用于碱性水电解槽,在1.6 V的电池电压下可提供10 mA cm的电流密度。所制备电极作为全水分裂电催化剂的这种理想性能可归因于高活性表面积因子、元素的协同效应以及气泡从电极表面的快速分离。本研究为快速构建用于可再生能源的高效电催化剂提供了一种新方法。
