Coupling hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been widely concerned for high efficiency of green hydrogen preparation with low energy consumption. However, the lacking of bifunctional electrodes with ampere-level performance severely limits its industrialization. Herein, we put forward an efficient active site anchored strategy for MnCoO nanosheet arrays on nickel foam (NF) by introducing Pt species (denoted as Pt-MnCoO/NF), which is standing for excellent bifunctional electrodes. The Pt-MnCoO/NF delivers ultralow potentials of -195 mV and 350 mV at 1000 mA cm as well as robust stability for HzOR and HER, respectively. The study of in-situ Raman and reaction kinetics reveal that the formation of key adsorbed *NH and *NH intermediates and the rapidly oxidization of intermediates with a fast interfacial charge transfer on Pt-MnCoO/NF. Remarkably, the Pt-MnCoO/NF assembled two-electrode hydrazine assisted water electrolyzer realizes current density of 100 mA cm and 1000 mA cm at 0.16 V and 0.62 V with over 80 h stability. This work provides a promising way to design efficient electrodes for energy-saving H generation under ampere-level current density.
将肼氧化反应(HzOR)与析氢反应(HER)耦合,因其能以低能耗高效制备绿色氢气而受到广泛关注。然而,缺乏具有安培级性能的双功能电极严重限制了其工业化进程。在此,我们通过引入铂物种(记为Pt-MnCoO/NF),提出了一种在泡沫镍(NF)上制备MnCoO纳米片阵列的高效活性位点锚定策略,该策略可制备出优异的双功能电极。Pt-MnCoO/NF在1000 mA cm时分别为HzOR和HER提供-195 mV和350 mV的超低电位以及强大的稳定性。原位拉曼光谱和反应动力学研究表明,在Pt-MnCoO/NF上形成了关键吸附中间体NH和NH,且中间体通过快速的界面电荷转移实现快速氧化。值得注意的是,由Pt-MnCoO/NF组装的双电极肼辅助水电解槽在0.16 V和0.62 V时分别实现了100 mA cm和1000 mA cm的电流密度,且具有超过80小时的稳定性。这项工作为设计在安培级电流密度下节能制氢的高效电极提供了一条有前景的途径。
