    Abstract
  • Heterostructure engineering of electrocatalysts provides a fascinating platform to reasonably manipulate the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and further improve their catalytic efficiency for water electrolysis. However, it still remains a huge challenge to construct well-designed core-shell heterostructured catalysts and identify the key role of components for synergistic catalysis. Herein, a melted polymeric salt tactics was innovatively developed to synthesize heterostructured Ni@Ni(OH)2 core-shell nanomaterials supported on porous carbon (named Ni@Ni(OH)2/PC), wherein well-defined Ni(OH)2-Ni heterostructure plays a pivotal role in improving electrocatalytic activity for water reduction and oxidation. Besides, the stable porous carbon support functions as a highway for continuous electron transfer between Ni and Ni(OH)2, and simultaneously enables the full exposure of accessible active sites. The fabricated Ni@Ni(OH)2/PC exhibits outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performance for overall water splitting (η10 = 1.55 V) with a good long-time stability. This work sheds new light on the design of engineering heterostructure of active bifunctional electrocatalysts for efficient energy conversion system.
