摘要

A key component in a sustainable hydrogen economy is cheap hydrogen production from water electrolysis. However, this reaction has long been limited by the need for expensive platinum-based electrocatalysts, especially for use under alkaline conditions. Now a team of researchers led by Yingwen Cheng has developed a cheaper non-platinum alternative involving a Ni/Li-NiO heterostructure with excellent catalytic activity over a broad range of pH (DOI: 10.1021/ jacs.0c00241).
