摘要
Seawater electrolysis can address the freshwater crisis and promote sustainable development, but there are several challenges, such as low catalyst activity and susceptibility to corrosion. We synthesized self-supported CuNi@CF catalysts on copper foam surfaces using a one-step electrodeposition method. In simulated seawater (6 M KOH+0.5 M NaCl), CuNi@CF showed excellent performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction with a low overpotential of 14 mV at 100 mA cm- 2, outperforming Pt/C@CF (148 mV) and most reported catalysts. The enhanced catalytic activity is attributed to the introduction of copper, which enhances electron transfer and forms a dendritic morphology with high surface area and active sites. We optimized the Ni/Cu ratio to determine the optimal experimental conditions. Corrosion tests validated the durability of CuNi@CF, showing a tiny potential drop after 100 h. The dendritic structure and Raman spectroscopy analysis supported the stability of the catalyst. The CuNi@CF||NiFe LDH electrolyzer also demonstrated excellent water decomposition efficiency in simulated seawater at 80 degrees C. This study thus presents promising prospects for hydrogen production via seawater electrolysis.
