Efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts based on the earth-abundant materials are highly vital to design practical and environmentally friendly water splitting devices. In this study, we present an optimized strategy for the development of active catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction HER. The composite catalysts are prepared with the nanosurface of NiO for the deposition of NiS by hydrothermal method. In alkaline electrolyte, the NiS/NiO nanocomposite has shown excellent catalytic HER properties at the low onset potential and small Tafel slope of 72 mVdec-1. A current density of 10 mA/cm2 is achieved by the nanocomposite obtained with 0.4 gram of NiO as nanosurface for the deposition of NiS (sample 4) at the cost of 429 mV versus RHE. The sample 4 carries more active sites that allow it to act as excellent HER catalyst. Based on this study, we conclude that increasing the nickel oxide content into composite sample facilitates the HER process. Additionally, a long term HER stability for 10 hours and good durability is also demonstrated by the sample 4. Our findings reveal that the optimization of nickel oxide content in the preparation of catalyst leads to the excellent HER activity for the design of practical water splitting devices and other related applications.

AbstractRational design of single atom catalyst is critical for efficient sustainable energy conversion. However, the atomic-level control of active sites is essential for electrocatalytic materials in alkaline electrolyte. Moreover, well-defined surface structures lead to in-depth understanding of catalytic mechanisms. Herein, we report a single-atomic-site ruthenium stabilized on defective nickel-iron layered double hydroxide nanosheets (Ru1/D-NiFe LDH). Under precise regulation of local coordination environments of catalytically active sites and the existence of the defects, Ru1/D-NiFe LDH delivers an ultralow overpotential of 18 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for hydrogen evolution reaction, surpassing the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that Ru1/D-NiFe LDH optimizes the adsorption energies of intermediates for hydrogen evolution reaction and promotes the O–O coupling at a Ru–O active site for oxygen evolution reaction. The Ru1/D-NiFe LDH as an ideal model reveals superior water splitting performance with potential for the development of promising water-alkali electrocatalysts.
