Abstract In this work, we used an interfacial engineering method to investigate a novel hybrid of two-dimensional cobalt sulfide-Mxene (2D CoS-Mo2TiC2) heterostructure supported by a three-dimensional foam substrate. The modification electronic properties caused by unique interfacial interactions resulted in a significant increase in the number of electroactive sites and charge transfer ability, thereby accelerating kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline medium. The catalyst required overpotential of 248.2 and 310 mV at a current response of 50 mA cm-2 for HER and OER, respectively, along with a remarkable stability. In addition, a two-electrode electrolyzer derived from the developed 2D CoS-Mo2TiC2 catalyst showed a cell voltage of 1.74 V at 10 mA cm-2 and a good stability during 25 h continuous operation. The achieved results were associated to the formation of a unique interfacial heterostructure with the strong interaction between two material phases, which effectively modified electronic structure and surface chemistry, thereby leading to the enhancement of catalytic performance. The study offered a potential route to synthesize new catalyst for green hydrogen production via water splitting.

The facile synthesis of highly active and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts to catalyze water splitting is attractive but challenging. Herein, we report the electrodeposition of Pt-decorated Ni(OH)2/CeO2 (PNC) hybrid as an efficient and robust bifunctional electrocatalyst. The graphite-supported PNC catalyst delivers superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities over the benchmark Pt/C and RuO2, respectively. For overall water electrolysis, the PNC hybrid only requires a cell voltage of 1.45 V at 10 mA cm−2 and sustains over 85 h at 1000 mA cm−2. The remarkable HER/OER performances are attributed to the superhydrophilicity and multiple effects of PNC, in which Ni(OH)2 and CeO2 accelerate HER on Pt due to promoted water dissociation and strong electronic interaction, while the electron-pulling Ce cations facilitate the generation of high-valence Ni OER-active species. These results suggest the promising application of PNC for H2 production from water electrolysis.
