A 3D hierarchical Bi-doped CoP nanoflowers electrocatalyst is developed based on a MOF self-sacrifice strategy. The 3% Bi/CoP catalyst delivers a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at low overpotentials of 122 mV in alkaline electrolyte and 150 mV in acidic electrolyte.

Radiochemical and electrochemical evidence is presented that electrochemically generated tritium and hydrogen atoms permeate through lead foil at measureable rates at room temperature. The permeation process is controlled by diffusion through the metal lattice, Fick's First Law being obeyed by both H and 3H atoms. Using earlier measurements of the diffusivity of H in Pb, H and 3H concentrations of 4 × 10−7 and 9 × 10−13 g-atom cm−3 are computed for a current density of 53 mA cm−2 at the Pb cathode surface.The overall hydrogen-tritium separation factor, ST is apparently 0.3 ± 0.15, in contrast to Bockris and Srinivasan's 6.7 and 7.2 for cathodic gas evolution from acidic and alkaline media, respectively. Reasons are suggested for this large difference.

Abstract The urgent demand for sustainable and clean energy has promoted the development of water splitting. Herein, metal borides assisted synthesis of graphene-based material (Ni-B/G) has been carried out by facile and fast microwave heating method and applied to hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution. The Ni-B combining with 2D graphene give rise to highly efficient HER performance with low overpotential of 187 mV at current density of 10 mA cm−2. In addition, it exhibits good stability and retains 76% of current density after continuous oxygen release. The excellent performance is ascribed to the synergetic effect of Ni-B and graphene. The Ni-B not only acts as initiator to adsorb microwave energy but also works as active centre of catalyst. The high conductivity and large specific area of graphene offer accessible contact between electrolyte and intermediates. Therefore, Ni-B/G indicates a promising candidate for HER in alkaline media.
