Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Catalysis

Background:

  • Large-scale hydrogen production relies on efficient and affordable electrocatalysts for water splitting.
  • Minimizing noble metal content while maintaining high performance is a critical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high-performance, cost-effective bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting.
  • To investigate the synergistic effects of ruthenium and nickel for enhanced catalytic activity.

Main Methods:

  • A facile wet-chemistry strategy was employed to load an ultralow amount of ruthenium (Ru) onto porous nickel foam (NF).
  • Theoretical simulations were used to understand the electronic structure and catalytic mechanisms.
  • Electrochemical performance was evaluated for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and overall water splitting.

Main Results:

  • The ruthenium-modified nickel foam (Ru-NF) demonstrated exceptional HER activity with only 0.3 wt% Ru, surpassing commercial platinum on carbon (Pt/C).
  • An extremely low overpotential of 10 mV was required to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² for HER, with a low Tafel slope of 34 mV dec⁻¹.
  • The catalyst exhibited remarkable performance for overall water splitting, requiring only 1.56 V at 10 mA cm⁻².

Conclusions:

  • The developed Ru-NF catalyst offers a highly efficient and low-cost solution for water splitting.
  • The synergistic coupling effect between Ru and Ni significantly enhances catalytic activity.
  • This approach provides a new pathway for fabricating advanced electrocatalysts for water-alkali electrolyzers.
