- 3D iron-nickel nitride (Ni3FeN) nanoparticles grown on carbon cloth are developed.
- The Ni3FeN shows outstanding activities toward both HER and OER in alkaline media.
- An advanced water electrolyzer based on the Ni3FeN for water splitting is achieved.
The state-of-the-art and stable electrocatalysts with non-noble metal elements are exceedingly desirable for hydrogen/oxygen production from water splitting. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) iron-nickel nitride nanoparticles grown on carbon cloth (Ni3FeN-NPs) are developed as a flexible bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. The as-prepared Ni3FeN-NPs show outstanding electrocatalytic activities toward both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1Â M KOH solution, with low overpotentials of 238 and 241Â mV at 10Â mA/cm2, Tafel slopes of 46 and 59Â mV/dec, respectively. Moreover, an advanced water electrolyzer based on the Ni3FeN-NPs electrodes as anode and cathode is assembled and could achieve overall water splitting with a cell voltage of 1.81Â V at 10Â mA/cm2. Also, the as-fabricated water electrolyzer exhibits stable electrocatalytic performance without decreasing in 1Â M KOH after 130Â h even at the foldable state.
