- 3D-Ni3Se2 porous electrode was prepared using one-step hydrothermal method.
- Explored as a low potential electrocatalyst to drive the oxygen evolution reaction.
- Demonstrated 500Â h continuous electrolyzer operation using both non-precious electrodes.
- Solar light assisted water splitting reduces the cost of electricity in H2 generation.
Herein, we describe an in-situ hybridization of Nickel Selenide (Ni3Se2) with a Nickel Foam (NF) current collector as an efficient, ultra-durable electrode for the continuous alkaline water electrolysis. Earth abundant, cost effective, non-precious self-made Ni3Se2/NF electrode delivers an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential value of 315Â mV at a current density of 100Â mAÂ cmâ2 (versus a reversible hydrogen electrode) in aqueous electrolyte of 1Â M KOH. On a static current density of 100Â mAÂ cmâ2, Ni3Se2/NF electrode shows a good OER stability over 285Â h with very small potential loss of 5.5% in alkaline electrolyte. Accordingly, the alkaline water electrolyzer constructed with Ni3Se2/NF (anode) and NiCo2S4/NF (cathode), it requires 1.58Â V to deliver 10Â mAÂ cmâ2 current density, with 500Â h continuous operation in 1Â M KOH. In addition, we demonstrate that the light-driven water splitting using solar panel, it can be a promising approach to facilitate true independence from electricity in H2 fuel economy. Overall, this methodology is one of the appropriate energy efficient ways to reduce the cost of water splitting devices, as it may simplify the diverse process and equipment.
