Electrodeposited nanoporous Ni(OH)2@Ni film acts as a Janus electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reaction, and overall water splitting, exhibiting superior activities and exceptional long-term stability. Theoretical calculations show that the synergistic electrocatalytic effects of Ni(OH)2 and Ni are responsible for the high activities.

AbstractA highly efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly photocathode with long-term stability is the goal of practical solar hydrogen evolution applications. Here, we found that the Cu3BiS3 film-based photocathode meets the abovementioned requirements. The Cu3BiS3-based photocathode presents a remarkable onset potential over 0.9 VRHE with excellent photoelectrochemical current densities (~7 mA/cm2 under 0 VRHE) and appreciable 10-hour long-term stability in neutral water solutions. This high onset potential of the Cu3BiS3-based photocathode directly results in a good unbiased operating photocurrent of ~1.6 mA/cm2 assisted by the BiVO4 photoanode. A tandem device of Cu3BiS3-BiVO4 with an unbiased solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 2.04% is presented. This tandem device also presents high stability over 20 hours. Ultimately, a 5 × 5 cm2 large Cu3BiS3-BiVO4 tandem device module is fabricated for standalone overall solar water splitting with a long-term stability of 60 hours.

We employed an efficient route for the synthesis of self-supported nanoporous NiCo2O4nanowires with cobalt–nickel layered oxide nanosheets (CFP/NiCo2O4/Co0.57Ni0.43LMOs) which can be used as bifunctional catalysts in both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
