Modulating the electronic structure of Ni(OH)2 by coupling with low-content Pt for boosting the urea oxidation reaction enables significantly promoted energy-saving hydrogen production

“…In line with the goal of sustainable development, electrocatalytic water splitting has garnered substantial attention for its highly efficient H 2 production that is both economical and pollution-free. 10 The process of overall water splitting involves the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which requires a high thermodynamic voltage of 1.23 V. 11,12 Nevertheless, the actual operating voltage for water splitting is usually much higher due to the limitation of the sluggish kinetics of the OER. 11 To minimize the overpotential during water splitting, the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts for boosting HER and OER activity is an essential approach for enhancing the efficiency of H 2 generation.…”
