Regulation of the electronic structure of a RuNi/MoC electrocatalyst for high-efficiency hydrogen evolution in alkaline seawater

Abstract

for full water splitting and showed long-term stability (over 500 h). Theoretical calculation revealed that the Ru and Ni sites in the catalyst had the optimal adsorption energy for hydrogen and water, respectively, which synergistically lowered the energy barrier for HER. This work offered an efficient method to design a highly effective HER catalyst for alkaline seawater splitting.
