Efficient hydrogen production on MoNi4 electrocatalysts with fast water dissociation kinetics
Abstract
In water-alkali electrolyzers, sluggish water dissociation kinetics on platinum-free electrocatalysts result in poor hydrogen-production activities. Here the authors report a MoNi4electrocatalyst which reduces the kinetic energy barrier of water dissociation, leading to improved hydrogen-production performance.
