Abstract
Durable and efficient Fe-based electrocatalysts in alkaline freshwater/seawater electrolysis is highly desirable but persists a significant challenge. Herein, we report a durable and robust heterogenous nitrogen-doped FeMoO4/Mo2N rod-shaped catalyst on nickel foam (denoted NF@FMO/MN) affording hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) low overpotentials of 23/29 mV@10 mA cm-2 and 112/159 mV@100 mA cm-2 in both alkaline freshwater/seawater electrolytes, respectively. These results are significantly superior to the pristine FeMoO4 catalyst. Theoretical calculations consistently reveals that the combination of N-FeMoO4 and Mo2N effectively reduces water activation energy barrier, modulates the sluggish water-dissociation kinetics and accelerates the hydrogen adsorption process for efficient HER. The enhanced HER performance of the as-designed NF@FMO/MN catalyst is attributed to the in situ hetero-interfacial engineering between N-doped FeMoO4 and Mo2N. This present work nurtures the progress of FeMo-based electrocatalysts in alkaline freshwater/seawater electrolysis.
