Abstract

Abstract Seawater hydrogen production, vital for sustainable energy solutions and freshwater preservation, faces challenges due to seawater complexity and high energy consumption. A strategy to modulate dehydrogenation kinetics of dual‐phase metal nitrides using low‐loaded Pt quantum dots (QDs), achieving stable and energy‐efficient hydrogen generation is introduced. The Pt QDs@Ni3N‐MoN/Ti catalyst displays outstanding bifunctional seawater catalytic performance, enabling efficient hydrogen production and hydrazine degradation in a flow anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) device. Operating at a low voltage of 1.41 V, it achieves 2 A cm−2 for 300 h, circumventing chlorine corrosion and yielding record‐breaking energy equivalent input (2.68 kWh m−3 H2 at 1 A cm−2), a 47.1% reduction compared to traditional methods. Integration with solar and biomass energy facilitates self‐powered hybrid seawater hydrogen production, highlighting its potential applications. This work facilitates energy‐efficient marine resource conversion to green hydrogen and offers viable insights into industrial hazardous pollutant degradation using metal‐nitride electrocatalysts.
