Abstract Renewable electricity‐driven seawater splitting presents a green, effective, and promising strategy for building hydrogen (H 2 )‐based energy systems (e.g., storing wind power as H ), especially in many coastal cities. The abundance of Cl − seawater, however, will cause severe corrosion anode catalyst during the electrolysis, thus affect long‐term stability catalyst. Herein, oxidation performances NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDH), classic oxygen (O ) evolution material, can be boosted by employing tungstate (WO 4 2– intercalated guest. Notably, insertion WO 2− to LDH layers upgrades reaction kinetics selectivity, attaining higher current densities with ≈100% O generation efficiency alkaline seawater. Moreover, after 350 h test at 1000 mA cm −2 , only trace active chlorine detected electrolyte. Additionally, follows lattice mechanism on .

Abstract Commercial alkaline water electrolysers typically operate at 80 °C to minimize energy consumption. However, NiFe‐based catalysts, considered as one of the most promising candidates for anode, encounter bottleneck high solubility such temperatures. Herein, we discover that dissolution NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe‐LDH) during operation not only leads degradation anode itself, but also deactivates cathode splitting, resulting in decay overall electrocatalytic performance. Aiming suppress dissolution, employed oxyanions inhibitors electrolyte. The added phosphates electrolyte inhibit loss NiFe‐LDH active sites 400 mA cm −2 1/3 original amount, thus reducing rate performance by 25‐fold. Furthermore, usage borates, sulfates, and carbonates yields similar results, demonstrating reliability universality site inhibitor, its role elevated electrolysis.

The dual-site synergistic catalytic mechanism on NiFeOOH suggests weak adsorption of Ni sites and strong Fe limited its activity toward alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that Co doping can increase adsorption, while the metal vacancy reduce adsorption. combined two factors further modulate atomic environment optimize free energy oxygen-containing intermediates, thus enhancing OER activity. Accordingly, we used Cr vacancies to fabricate an amorphous catalyst VCr,Co-NiFeOOH. It provides overpotential 239 mV at 100 mA cm–2 high stability over 500 h with a ∼98% potential retention. resulting water electrolyzer based anion exchange membrane (AEM) exhibits remarkable performance 1 A 1.68 V in M KOH.

Abstract The NiFe‐based layered double hydroxides (LDH) undergo surface reconstruction, generating metal hydroxyl oxides that act as active species during the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, sluggish reconstruction process and excessive oxidation at higher anodic potentials frustrate OER activity stability. Herein, a cation–anion collaborative coordination strategy is harnessed to build (Ni, Fe)─S─Zn structures in NiFe LDH on nickel foam (S‐NiFeZn LDH/NF), which lowers energy barrier aids forming highly β‐NiOOH process. Meanwhile, also optimize adsorption of oxygen‐containing intermediates, enhancing kinetics. As result, S‐NiFeZn LDH/NF achieves low overpotentials 201 mV 10 mA cm −2 293 500 1.0 m KOH. Moreover, cell assembled with anode commercial NiMo cathode demonstrates excellent overall water splitting activity, voltages 1.62 1.81 V KOH, exhibits ultralong‐term durability over h , even operating stably for 200 an electrolyzer under industrial conditions (30% KOH 80 °C).
