Article Abstract

In this study, a trimetallic catalyst, NiWRu@NF, is electrodeposited onto nickel foam using chronoamperometry to enhance the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline water electrolysis. The catalyst combines nickel, tungsten, and ruthenium components, strategically designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, hydroxyl transfer and water dissociation, and acceleration of hydrogen combination, respectively. Evaluation of NiWRu@NF reveals exceptional performance, with a low overpotential of -50 mV and high current density of -10 mA cm, signifying its efficiency in promoting HER. Tafel values further corroborate the catalyst's effectiveness, indicating a rapid reaction rate of hydrogen evolution in such a highly alkaline medium compared to other controls studied along with it. This study underscores the significance of NiWRu@NF in advancing alkaline HER kinetics, paving the way for more efficient electrolysis processes.

The main bottleneck faced by traditional hydrogen production technology through water electrolysis lies in the high energy consumption of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Combining the thermodynamically favorable ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction provides a promising route to reduce the energy consumption of hydrogen production and generate high value-added products. In this study, a facile method was developed for nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) fabrication.

The faradaic efficiency of the electro-synthesis of ammonia using the nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) relies on an electrocatalyst to hydrogenate NO and simultaneously suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Due to the formation of a heterostructure, the faradaic efficiency of g-CN/BiO reaches 91.12% at -0.
