Urea electrolysis (UE) represents a promising path for hydrogen production as an alternative to water electrolysis with a low thermodynamic potential of 0.37 V and the additional function of urea pollutant degradation. However, the sluggish kinetics caused by the six-electron processes increase the barrier energy for the urea oxidation reaction (UO...

The practical application of splitting water to generate hydrogen is to a large extent hindered by an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. Electrocatalysts with low-cost, high activity, and durability are essential for the low kinetic threshold of the OER. Despite the high active performances of noble metal compound electrocatalysts like IrO2 a...
Introducing Ni in Ru oxide is a promising approach to enhance the catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the role of Ni (which has a poor intrinsic activity) is not fully understood. Here, a RuNiOx electrode fabricated via a modified dip coating method exhibited excellent OER performance in acidic media, and neutral me...
