Abstract

Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis Optimizing Fe/Ni ratios, in article number 2410027, Young Sun Mok and co-workers report synthesis of smaller FeNi LDH derived NiFe2O4 nano petals sparsely covered with nano-sized MIL-88A derived Fe2O3 nanospheres. Thermal ammonia reduction introduced oxygen vacancies and nitrogen functionalization, boosting OER and HER activities by lowering activation barriers and destabilizing hydride intermediates. The optimized electrode achieved 200 mA cm−2 at 350 mV (OER) and 240 mV (HER) overpotentials, with 200-hour stability in alkaline seawater, showcasing its potential for sustainable water electrolysis.
