Article Abstract
Seawater splitting can effectively produce clean hydrogen as well as alleviate the problem of fresh water shortage. Herein, CoNiFe@BCN core-shell nanocatalyst is successfully prepared by a facile pyrolysis method, where the formed B, N co-doped C (BCN) shell not only protects the CoNiFe alloy from dissolving under harsh conditions, but also repels chloride ions. In addition, the synergistic effect between metal alloy and BCN shell helps to improve the catalytic activity due to the confinement effect, so that the CoNiFe@BCN only needs overpotentials of 247 and 306 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm in alkaline medium. In addition, the overpotentials of the catalyst are almost unchanged at the current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm (258 and 315 mV) in simulated seawater, demonstrating its excellent catalytic property and corrosion resistance. Moreover, the catalyst is able to achieve seawater splitting with almost 100 % Faraday efficiency, indicating its promising application for seawater electrolysis. This work provides an alternative method for preparing confined nano catalysts to produce hydrogen from seawater.

Photocatalytic seawater splitting (PSWS), which utilizes abundant solar and ocean resources, is one of the most promising technologies for sustainable hydrogen production. However, the complex composition of seawater significantly limits the durability and activity of photocatalysts. In this review, we first identify the primary factors that contribute to photocatalyst deactivation during PSWS, including chloride induced corrosion and loss of active sites, and light shielding caused by precipitation of metal cation salts.

Organic nucleophile-assisted natural seawater electrolysis has emerged as a promising strategy for green hydrogen production by significantly reducing energy consumption. Among Ni-based electrocatalysts, NiMoO has drawn attention for its activity in both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). However, its practical application is hindered by severe surface passivation, particularly at industrial current densities (e.

Ruthenium (Ru) has emerged as a highly promising and cost-effective alternative to Ir- and Pt-based electrocatalysts for water electrolysis, making the development of efficient and stable Ru-based bifunctional catalysts a critical research objective. Herein, an AgCl/RuO heterojunction is prepared via a facile electrospinning-calcination strategy. The AgCl undergoes a reduction to form metallic Ag under hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) processes, which can be integrated with RuO active sites to facilitate HO dissociation and enhance the electron transfer while simultaneously suppressing RuO over-oxidation.

Hydrogen production from seawater is promising; however, the complex chemistry and corrosive nature of seawater are a huge bottleneck. Therefore, it is imperative to design catalysts that provide highly active and stable catalytic sites for preferential seawater catalysis. Here, we constructed an interface by heterostructuring boron-doped iron disulfide (B-FeS) sheets with metal-organic framework (MOF) sheets to achieve higher activity and longer life, confirmed through theoretical and experimental results.

Developing an outperformed bifunctional water splitting catalyst serving in both basic solutions and seawater is of great significance. Herein, we synthesized the binder-free copper mesh (CM)-based Pt-CuP/Cu(PO) through two-step reaction courses. The achieved Pt-CuP/Cu(PO)/CM (abbreviated as Pt-CuP/CPO/CM) has the appearance of nanosheets decorated with uniformly distributed nanoclusters.
