Abstract
Recently, production of hydrogen (H2) through the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has acquired great attention because it is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Herein, an approach of water activation was developed for in situ growth of NiMo LDH nanosheet arrays on NiMo foam without using any binder or pressurizing or heating steps. The obtained NiMo foam electrodes showed exceptional catalytic activity and durability for both the UOR and HER. This work offers a new standpoint on designing electrodes with high activation for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production coupled with urea organic oxidation.
