A 3D porous Ni-CeO2 nanosheet array as a highly efficient electrocatalyst toward alkaline hydrogen evolution†
Abstract
In this Communication, we report a 3D porous Ni-CeO2 nanosheet array supported on a Ti mesh (Ni-CeO2/TM) as an excellent electrocatalyst toward the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. To afford a current density of 10 mA cm−2, Ni-CeO2/TM requires an overpotential as low as 67 mV, 77 mV lower than that of Ni/TM. Furthermore, the electrocatalyst shows good electrochemical durability with nearly 100% faradaic efficiency.
