摘要/Abstract

摘要： Developing active and durable electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is desirable but challenging to realize sustainable hydrogen production.Here,we report a facile and general method to prepare ultrafine nickel (Ni)-iridium (Ir) alloy nanoparticles/graphene hybrids for overall water splitting.The optimized hybrid with 4.9 wt% Ir exhibits much higher catalytic activity and durability than commercial 20 wt% Ir/C for both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).Theoretical simulations reveal that the incorporation of Ir in metallic Ni lattice regulates hydrogen adsorption free energy to the optimum level,thus improving HER activity,while in situ generated amorphous Ir-Ni hydr(oxy)oxides around metallic Ni-Ir core have been demonstrated to be the active species under OER conditions,which switches OER rate-determining step to energy-favorable pathway.The overall water splitting electrolyzer assembled by the optimized electrocatalyst shows a low cell voltage of only 1.52 V and excellent stability to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm^-2.This work provides a powerful strategy toward general synthesis of ultrafine alloy nanoparticles for high-performance overall water splitting.
