Abstract
The importance of efficient and stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts for hydrogen production in alkaline conditions to energy crisis resolution and environmental pollution is immense. In general, the quantity of catalytic sites in the electrocatalyst limits the current density of HER. In response to such problems, the bimetallic effect of non-noble bimetallic nitrides has been shown to regulate the corresponding catalytic sites. Here, a microrod-like non-noble bimetallic nitride catalyst with Ni3Mo3N microrods uniformly modified on nickel foam was synthesized by hydrothermal and nitriding processes. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity for HER in 1 M KOH solution. The overpotential was only 28 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2, demonstrating exceptional electrochemical performance. Furthermore, it exhibited remarkable long-term stability under the same current density. This work will open up a low-cost and simple way for the synthesis of bimetallic nitrides as functional electrode materials for HER and electrochemical detection.
