Cu-P@silica-CNT-based catalyst for effective electrolytic water splitting in an alkaline medium with hydrazine assistance.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we prepared a potential catalyst as an electrode modifier for electrolytic water splitting. In the preparation step, the amine was decorated with copper-phosphorus. It was immobilized over the silica surface, and the surface was engineered using N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl)ethylenediamine for the synthesis of the catalysts (AS). The morphological and structural aspects of the catalyst (AFS-Cu-P) were determined using FE-SEM/EDAX, FTIR, elemental analysis, BET, TGA, and XPS. The catalyst's efficacy for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was assessed in an alkaline medium with and without hydrazine. The hydrazine oxidation reaction enhanced the sluggish OER and facilitated water splitting. Detailed electrochemical measurements confirmed an increase in the kinetics of
