Abstract
Seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production is efficient and promising, but chloride ions (Cl−) cause severe anode corrosion, limiting its potential. In this study, we present the intercalation of fluorosilicate anions into NiFe layered double hydroxide nanosheet arrays on Ni foam (SiF62−-NiFe LDH/NF) as an industrial-level alkaline seawater oxidation catalyst. SiF62−-NiFe LDH/NF achieves a current density of 1000 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 371 mV and maintains good stability for 1000 h. It also exhibits robust stability at higher current densities of 1.5 and 2 A cm−2. In situ Raman spectroscopy confirms that SiF62− promotes the generation of γ-NiOOH and repels Cl−, demonstrating excellent tolerance under extreme conditions.
海水电解制氢是一种高效且有前景的方法,但氯离子(Cl−)会造成严重的阳极腐蚀,限制了其潜力。在本研究中,我们提出了将氟硅酸盐阴离子插入到Ni泡沫(SiF62−-NiFe LDH/NF)上的NiFe层状双氢氧化物纳米片阵列中作为工业级碱性海水氧化催化剂。SiF62−-NiFe LDH/NF在过电位为371 mV时电流密度达到1000 mA cm−2,并在1000 h内保持良好的稳定性,在1.5和2 a cm−2的高电流密度下也表现出良好的稳定性。原位拉曼光谱证实,SiF62−促进γ-NiOOH的生成,并排斥Cl−,在极端条件下表现出优异的耐受性。
