Electrodeposited Large-Area Nickel-Alloy Electrocatalysts for Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution under Industrially Relevant Conditions
JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS(2024)
摘要
Developing efficient water splitting electrocatalysts plays a critical role in lowering the energy cost for hydrogen production, which requires accurate evaluation of the catalytic performance especially under industrially relevant conditions. In this work, we design a two-chamber electrolyzer testing system simulating practical water electrolyzer system to enable catalytic performance evaluation under industrially relevant conditions. A one-step electrodeposition method is used to synthesize binary and ternary Ni alloy HER catalysts and the catalytic electrodes are screened and optimized with the two-chamber electrolyzer testing system. A voltage of 1.64 V without iR compensation at a current density of 200 mA/cm2 is obtained with continuous operation for 70 h. Different HER activity trend is observed from conventional three-electrode experiments with low-concentration alkaline electrolytes at room temperature and the two-chamber electrolyzer measurements, further supporting the importance of catalytic performance evaluation under industrially relevant conditions. The electrodeposition synthesis method is further used to prepare large-area catalytic electrodes over 400 cm2 with good uniformity.
