| Zusammenfassung: | © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH. Alkaline water electrolysis is commercially desirable to realize large-scale hydrogen production. Although nonprecious catalysts exhibit high electrocatalytic activity at low current density (10-50 mA cm-2 ), it is still challenging to achieve industrially required current density over 500 mA cm-2 due to inefficient electron transport and competitive adsorption between hydroxyl and water. Herein, the authors design a novel metallic heterostructure based on nickel nitride and monoclinic molybdenum disulfide (Ni3 N2M-MoS2 ) for extraordinary water electrolysis. The Ni3 N@2M-MoS2 composite with heterointerface provides two kinds of separated reaction sites to overcome the steric hindrance of competitive hydroxyl/water adsorption. The kinetically decoupled hydroxyl/water adsorption/dissociation and metallic conductivity of Ni3 N@2M-MoS2 enable hydrogen production from Ni3 N and oxygen evolution from the heterointerface at large current density. The metallic heterostructure is proved to be imperative for the stabilization and activation of Ni3 N@2M-MoS2 , which can efficiently regulate the active electronic states of Ni/N atoms around the Fermi-level through the charge transfer between the active atoms of Ni3 N and MoMo bonds of 2M-MoS2 to boost overall water splitting. The Ni3 N@2M-MoS2 incorporated water electrolyzer requires ultralow cell voltage of 1.644 V@1000 mA cm-2 with ≈100% retention over 300 h, far exceeding the commercial Pt/C║RuO2 (2.41 V@1000 mA cm-2 , 100 h, 58.2%) |
