Hydrogen evolution reaction performance of nanoporous NiFeCoTi high-entropy alloy electrode
Developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts towards hydrogen evolution reaction is crucial for electrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen.Nanoporous NiFeCoTi high-entropy alloy electrode was prepared by alloying and dealloying strategies,and its alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction performance was studied.The results show that the electrode has a columnar nanoporous structure,which can promote electron transfer and mass transport during the electrocatalytic reaction process.The surface NiFeCoTi high-entropy alloy can provide bifunctional electrocatalytic active sites,promoting water dissociation and adsorption/combination of hydrogen intermediates.In 1 M KOH electrolyte,the nanoporous NiFeCoTi electrode can achieve a current density of 400 mA/cm2 at a low overpotential of about 111 mV,with a low Tafel slope and excellent long-term stability.
