Nanocomposite Electrodes with CuFe Layered Double Hydroxides and Hydrochar for Alkaline HER and HOR: A Multifunctional Platform for Hydrogen Electrocatalysis

MSMichelle SalibaPKPhilippe KnauthEBEmily Bloch

Key Points

  • This research investigates the use of copper-iron layered double hydroxides in nanocomposite electrodes for improving hydrogen production reactions.
  • Synthesis of nanocomposite electrodes incorporating copper-iron layered double hydroxides and hydrochar
  • Assessment of the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction and hydrogen oxidation reaction
  • Comparative analysis with conventional noble metal catalysts
  • CuFe-LDHs demonstrate significantly improved catalytic activity for both HER and HOR compared to traditional catalysts
