Electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) have drawn tremendous interest for the scalable and sustainable conversion of renewable electricity to clear hydrogen fuel. However, the sluggish kinetics of the water dissociation step severely restricts the high production of hydrogen in alkaline media. Tuning the electronic structure by doping is an effective method to boost water dissociation in alkaline solutions. In this study, N-doped CoO nanowire arrays (N-CoO) were designed and prepared using a simple method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), element mappings and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated that N was successfully incorporated into the lattice of CoO. The XPS of Co 2p and O 1s suggested that the electronic structure of CoO was obviously modulated after the incorporation of N, which improved the adsorption and activation of water molecules. The energy barriers obtained from the Arrhenius relationship of the current density at different temperatures indicated that the N-CoO nanowire arrays accelerated the water dissociation in the HER process. As a result, the N-CoO nanowire arrays showed an excellent performance of HER in alkaline condition. At a current density of 10 mA cm−1, the N-CoO nanowire arrays needed only a 123 mV potential, which was much lower than that of CoO (285 mV). This simple design strategy provides some new inspiration to promote water dissociation for HER in alkaline solutions at the atomic level.
