The facile synthesis of highly active and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts to catalyze water splitting is attractive but challenging. Herein, we report the electrodeposition of Pt-decorated Ni(OH)2/CeO2 (PNC) hybrid as an efficient and robust bifunctional electrocatalyst. The graphite-supported PNC catalyst delivers superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities over the benchmark Pt/C and RuO2, respectively. For overall water electrolysis, the PNC hybrid only requires a cell voltage of 1.45 V at 10 mA cm−2 and sustains over 85 h at 1000 mA cm−2. The remarkable HER/OER performances are attributed to the superhydrophilicity and multiple effects of PNC, in which Ni(OH)2 and CeO2 accelerate HER on Pt due to promoted water dissociation and strong electronic interaction, while the electron-pulling Ce cations facilitate the generation of high-valence Ni OER-active species. These results suggest the promising application of PNC for H2 production from water electrolysis.

The multi-carboxylic metallophthalocyanine derivatives were added into carboxymethyl cellulose cation layer to prepare the modified carboxymethyl cellulose/chitosan bipolar membranes (CMC/CS BPMs), which were characterized using electric universal testing machine, contact angle measurer and so on. The results showed that the mechanical properties were increased after modification. Moreover, the ion exchange capacity, and the hydrophilicity of the modified CMC membrane dramatically rose. As the catalytic centers, the metallophthalocyanine derivatives sped up water splitting, decreased the membrane impedance and cell voltage. In comparison with the BPMs modified by mononuclear metallophthalocyanine derivatives, the catalytic ability for water splitting of the binuclear metallophthalocyanine derivatives (especially with different central metal ions) was enhanced. At the current density of 60 mA·cm-2, the cell voltage of the BPM modified by FeCoPc2(COOH)12 was only 5.3V.
