Seawater Splitting Using NiFeP-Embedded Porous Carbon Fibers.

ABSTRACT: Designing efficient and durable nonprecious metal-based electrocatalysts for high-performance seawater splitting is essential for clean energy conversion. Nevertheless, the underlying cause of NiFeP activity, particularly in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), remains poorly understood. Using a flexible and controllable electrospinning approach, we effectively synthesized bimetallic NiFeP encapsulated in porous carbon nanofibers (PCF). Benefiting from the strong synergistic effects of the mesoporous structures with optimized binary metal components encapsulated in the carbon nanofibers, NiFeP-PCFs exhibit improved OER and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in alkaline, neutral, and alkaline seawater electrolytes. The electrode exhibits overpotentials of 320 mV and 145 mV at 100
