Tailored Ni(OH)₂/CuCo/Ni(OH)₂ Composite Interfaces for Efficient and Durable Urea Oxidation Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction is a promising alternative to water oxidation for more efficient hydrogen production due to its significantly lower thermodynamic potential. However, achieving efficient electrochemical urea oxidation remains a formidable challenge, and development of an improved electrocatalyst with an optimal physicochemical and electronic structure toward urea oxidation is desired. This can be accomplished by designing a tailored two-dimensional composite with an abundance of active sites in a favorable electronic environment. In this study, we demonstrate the fabrication of a self-supported, electrochemically grown metal/mixed metal hydroxide composite interface via a two-step electrodeposition method. Specifically, Ni(OH)₂ was electrodeposited on the
