摘要
Alkaline electrolytic hydrogen production has emerged as one of the most practical methods for industrial-scale hydrogen production.However,the initial hydrolysis dissociation in alkaline media impedes the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)kinetics of commercial catalysts.To overcome this limitation,this study focuses on the development of a highly efficient electrocatalyst for alkaline HER.Ni-based intermetallic compounds exhibit remarkable catalytic activity for HER,with the NiMo alloy being among the most active catalysts in alkaline environments.Here,we designed and fabricated self-supported multiscale porous NiZn/NiMo intermetallic compounds on a metal foam substrate using a versatile dealloying method.The resulting electrode exhibits excellent HER activity,achieving an overpotential of just 204 mV at 1000 mA/cm^(2),and dem-onstrates robust long-term catalytic stability,maintaining performance at 100 mA/cm^(2) for 400 h in an alkaline electrolyte.Thesefindings underscore the potential of nanosized intermetallic compounds fabricated via a dealloying approach to deliver exceptional catalytic performance for alkaline water electrolysis.
