原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
ABSTRACT High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) offer a versatile platform for bifunctional electrocatalysis, yet their activity‐stability balance under industrial‐level current density remains insufficiently understood. Here, we report a self‐supported NiFeCoMoW HEA electrode fabricated by pulse electrodeposition on copper foam, forming a binder‐free hierarchical architecture with homogeneous elemental distribution. In 1.0 M KOH, NiFeCoMoW@CF delivers strong bifunctional activity, requiring an overpotential of 251 mV to reach 10 mA cm −2 for OER, and enables overall water splitting with a low cell voltage of 1.52 V at 10 mA cm −2 and 1.83 V at 1000 mA cm −2 . The electrolyzer operates stably at 1000 mA cm −2 for 100 h with minimal voltage increase. In situ Raman spectroscopy reveals a potential‐dependent surface evolution: a persistent Mo/W‐O signature is retained across HER and OER, while Ni/Fe/Co reconstruct into an oxyhydroxide‐rich surface state under OER, consistent with post‐test XPS/HRTEM. This coupled stabilization–reconstruction behavior, enabled by multicomponent coupling and pulse‐engineered accessibility, provides mechanistic insight and a practical strategy for durable, noble‐metal‐free alkaline water electrolysis.
