The efficiency of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is highly dependent on the catalyst used. Herein, ultrathin Ni(0)‐embedded Ni(OH)2 heterostructured nanosheets, referred to as Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets, with superior water splitting activity are synthesized by a partial reduction strategy. This synthetic strategy confers the heterostructured Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets with abundant Ni(0)‐Ni(II) active interfaces for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and Ni(II) defects as transitional active sites for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The obtained Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets exhibit noble metal‐like electrocatalytic activities toward overall water splitting in alkaline condition, to offer 10 mA cm−2 in HER and OER, the required overpotentials are only 77 and 270 mV, respectively. Based on such an outstanding activity, a water splitting electrolysis cell using the Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets as the cathode and anode electrocatalysts has been successfully built. When the output voltage of the electrolytic cell is 1.59 V, a current density of 10 mA cm−2 can be obtained. Moreover, the durability of Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets in the alkaline electrolyte is much better than that of noble metals. No obvious performance decay is observed after 20 h of catalysis. This facile strategy paves the way for designing highly active non‐precious‐metal catalyst to generate both hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water at room temperature.

超薄Ni(0)嵌入Ni(OH)2异质结构纳米片,具有增强的电化学总水分解性能

将水分解为氢气和氧气的效率高度取决于所使用的催化剂。本文中,通过部分还原策略合成了具有超强水分解活性的超薄Ni(0)嵌入Ni(OH)2异质结构纳米片,称为Ni / Ni(OH)2纳米片。这种合成策略赋予具有丰富的Ni(0)-Ni(II)活性界面的异结构Ni / Ni(OH)2纳米片用于氢释放反应(HER)和Ni(II)缺陷作为氧释放反应的过渡活性位点(OER )。所获得的Ni / Ni(OH)2纳米片对碱性条件下的总水分解表现出贵金属样的电催化活性,可提供10 mA cm -2在HER和OER中,所需的超电势分别仅为77和270 mV。基于这种优异的活性,已经成功地构建了使用Ni / Ni(OH)2纳米片作为阴极和阳极电催化剂的水分解电解槽。当电解池的输出电压为1.59V时,可获得10mA cm -2的电流密度。而且,Ni / Ni(OH)2纳米片在碱性电解质中的耐久性比贵金属的耐久性好得多。催化20小时后未观察到明显的性能下降。这种简便的策略为设计高活性非贵金属催化剂铺平了道路,该催化剂通过在室温下电解水来产生氢气和氧气。
