Seawater electrolysis has great potential to generate clean hydrogen energy, but it is a formidable challenge. In this study, we report CoFe-LDH nanosheet uniformly decorated on a CuO nanowire array on Cu foam (CuO@CoFe-LDH/CF) for seawater oxidation. Such CuO@CoFe-LDH/CF exhibits high oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalytic activity, demanding only an overpotential of 336 mV to generate a current density of 100 mA cm in alkaline seawater. Moreover, it can operate continuously for at least 50 h without obvious activity attenuation.
海水电解在产生清洁氢能方面具有巨大潜力,但这是一项艰巨的挑战。在本研究中,我们报道了一种均匀装饰在泡沫铜上的氧化铜纳米线阵列(CuO@CoFe-LDH/CF)上的CoFe-LDH纳米片用于海水氧化。这种CuO@CoFe-LDH/CF表现出高析氧反应电催化活性,在碱性海水中仅需336 mV的过电位就能产生100 mA cm的电流密度。此外,它可以连续运行至少50小时而无明显活性衰减。
