Efficient alkaline hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis enabled by an amorphous Co–Mo–B film

Abstract

An amorphous Co–Mo–B film on a Ti mesh (Co–Mo–B/Ti) is fabricated via one-step electrodeposition exhibiting a dramatically enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in alkaline media. To attain a current density of 20 mA cm−2, such Co–Mo–B/Ti demands only an overpotential of 110 mV, 190 mV lower than that of the counterpart Co–B/Ti, with strong electrochemical durability to maintain its catalytic activity for at least 32 h.
