Abstract

Background

Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) assisted H₂ evolution reaction (HER) holds promising for energy-saving H₂ production via the water electrolysis.

Methods

In this work, an alkaline earth metal species, Mg(OH)₂, is applied to activate the catalytic performance of the Rh-based catalyst. The developed catalyst Rh-doped Mg(OH)₂ on Ni-MOF/NF has both excellent UOR and HER catalytic activities. Evidence is supported by experiments and calculations that the Rh/Mg(OH)₂ is the active site.

Significant findings

In a alkaline environment, the overpotential of HER is only 14 mV to 10 mA cm^-2 of the current density, and anodic potential of UOR is only 1.290 V. When assembling a symmetry electrolyzer, UOR assisted HER can save 200 mV compared to water electrolysis.

在Ni-MOF上引入掺铑Mg(OH)2作为加速尿素氧化反应的对称电极，辅助析氢

durea氧化反应（UOR）辅助析氢反应（HER）在水电解法节能制氢方面具有广阔的前景。方法采用碱土金属Mg(OH)2来激活rh基催化剂的催化性能。所研制的Ni-MOF/NF上掺铑的Mg(OH)2催化剂具有优异的UOR和HER催化活性。实验和计算证明，Rh/Mg(OH)2是活性位点。在碱性环境下，HER的过电位仅为电流密度的14 mV ~ 10 mA cm-2， UOR的阳极电位仅为1.290 V。在组装对称电解槽时，与水电解相比，UOR辅助HER可节省200mv。
