“…This increase of the OER activity of an electrocatalyst upon strong usage is initially unexpected. However the group of Chatenet made similar obtainments for 316 steel based electrodes in lithium-air batteries [26] . The Tafel As can be taken from previous reports, Tafel lines of surface activated steel samples showed in the lower potential region slopes of 49 mV dec -1 (AISI 304) [45] , 58.5 mV dec -1 (S235) [33] whereas untreated steel showed significant higher slopes of 66 mV dec -1 (AISI 304) [45] and 102 mV dec -1 (S235) [33] with one exception: 30 mV dec -1 (AISI 316 in 1 M KOH) [87] .…”

Janus type Water-Splitting Catalysts have attracted highest attention as a tool of choice for solar to fuel conversion. AISI Ni 42 steel was upon harsh anodization converted in a bifunctional electrocatalyst. Oxygen evolution reaction-(OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are highly efficiently and steadfast catalyzed at pH 7, 13, 14, 14.6 (OER) respectively at pH 0, 1, 13, 14, 14.6 (HER). The current density taken from long-term OER measurements in pH 7 buffer solution upon the electro activated steel at 491 mV overpotential (η) was around 4 times higher (4 mA/cm 2 ) in comparison with recently developed OER electrocatalysts. The very strong voltagecurrent behavior of the catalyst shown in OER polarization experiments at both pH 7 and at pH 13 were even superior to those known for IrO 2 -RuO 2 . No degradation of the catalyst was detected even when conditions close to standard industrial operations were applied to the catalyst. A stable Ni-, Fe-oxide based passivating layer sufficiently protected the bare metal for further oxidation. Quantitative charge to oxygen-(OER) and charge to hydrogen (HER) conversion was confirmed. High resolution XPS spectra showed that most likely γ−NiO(OH) and FeO(OH) are the catalytic active OER and NiO is the catalytic active HER species.

Oxidized Mild Steel S235: An Efficient Anode for Electrocatalytically Initiated Water Splitting

The surface of steel S235 was oxidized by Cl2 gas and checked for its electrocatalytic efficiency regarding oxygen formation in aqueous solution. If exposed to humid Cl2 gas for 110 min, steel S235 became an electrocatalyst that exhibits an overpotential for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of 462 mV at 1 mA cm(-2) at pH 7. The OER activity of the same sample at pH 13 was moderate (347 mV overpotential at 2.0 mA cm(-2) current density) in comparison with OER electrocatalysts developed recently. Potential versus time plots measured at a constant current demonstrate the sufficient stability of all samples under catalysis conditions at pH 7 and 13 for tens of hours. High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectra could be reasonably resolved with the proviso that Fe2 O3 , FeO(OH), MnO(OH), and Mn2 O3 are the predominant Fe and Mn species on the surface of the oxidized steel S235.

The electrochemical water splitting technology, a cornerstone for the production of “green hydrogen”, holds paramount significance in the global pursuit of carbon neutrality. Steel‐based electrocatalysts, when judiciously designed at the mesoscale, emerge as pivotal players in the quest for cost‐effective and highly active catalysts for industrial‐scale deployment. This domain has witnessed remarkable progress in recent times, prompting this review to offer a holistic overview of the design and synthesis methodologies for steel‐based electrocatalysts. The focus of this review lies in three primary aspects: the intricate phase transition design of the exterior layer, the strategic manipulation of 3D steel‐based substrate architectures, and the ingenious coupling of multifarious heterointerfaces. These strategies collectively contribute to the enhancement of catalytic performance. Concluding the discussion, the key insights are briefly summarized and delved into the challenges and prospects surrounding the advancement of steel‐based electrocatalysts for sustainable, large‐scale hydrogen production. Against the strategic backdrop of integrating computational chemistry, paired electrocatalysis, and industrial‐grade high‐current direct electrolysis of seawater, a roadmap is envisioned that aims to overcome existing barriers and propel the field toward new horizons.
