Modulation of the electronic structure of bimetallic FeRu alloy nanoparticles for efficient alkaline hydrogen evolution
An FeRu alloy nanoparticle electrocatalyst supported on nickel foam (FeRu/NF) has been synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method. The optimal catalyst (Fe<sub>1</sub>Ru<sub>2</sub>/NF) exhibits an overpotential of 22 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> and a Tafel slope of 59 mV dec<sup>-1</sup> in 1 M KOH. The Fe<sub>1</sub>Ru<sub>2</sub>/NF‖NiFe-LDH two-electrode cell achieves a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> at a remarkably low cell voltage of 1.49 V.
