Seawater electrolysis is an attractive way of making H2 in coastal areas, and NiFe-based materials are among the top options for alkaline seawater oxidation (ASO). However, ample Cl- can severely corrode catalytic sites lead to limited lifespans. Herein, we report that situ carbon oxyanion self-transformation (COST) from oxalate carbonate on a monolithic NiFe micropillar electrode allows safeguard high-valence metal reaction ASO. In situ/ex studies show spontaneous, timely, appropriate COST safeguards active against attack during ASO even at ampere-level current density (j). Our catalyst shows efficient stable performance, which requires overpotential as low 349 mV attain j 1 A cm-2 . Moreover, with protective surface CO32- exhibits slight activity degradation after 600 h under seawater. This work reports effective design concepts level self-transformation, acting momentous step toward defending seawater-to-H2 conversion systems.

Understanding the mechanism of catalyst surface evolution during continuous oxygen reaction (OER) process is critical to optimize stability. Here, by detailed insights into activity and stability variations NiFe-based catalysts including NiFe alloy layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH) for OER, we reveal that electrocatalysts possess ability repair themselves OER in an alkaline medium via balance dynamic Fe exchange between electrolytes. When concentration leached from electrolyte reaches a moderate level, sufficient amount can be readsorbed onto reconstituted oxyhydroxide, resulting loss rates. In situ Raman experiments doping Ni-based inhibit excess oxidation Ni; surface-adsorbed species strongly adsorbed formed NiOOH layer which further improves stabilizes catalysts. This analyzed isotope-labeled differential electrochemical mass spectrometry theoretical calculation, showed adsorption on oxyhydroxide promote weak-bonding Fe(OH)x as priority participant O2 formation through lattice mechanism, reducing inner NiFe-LDH structure realizing self-repairing activity. work provides more in-depth analysis actual self-repair media.
