Abstract
- Urea electrolysis is regarded as a prospective method for energy-saving hydrogen production. However, the practical application of this technology is limited by the lack of high-performance bifunctional catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Herein, a heterostructure catalyst composed of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) and sulfides (NiFe LDH-NiFeSx/NF) catalysts is prepared via a simple one-step hydrothermal approach. Remarkably, the prepared NiFe LDH-NiFeSx/NF required 138 mV and 1.34 V to achieve 10 mA cm−2 for HER and UOR in 1 M KOH and 0.33 M urea, respectively. Furthermore, when NiFe LDH-NiFeSx/NF is used as a cathode for urea electrolysis, only 1.44 V is required at 10 mA cm−2, which is much lower than the 1.53 V needed for overall water splitting.
