Modification of CoFe Prussian Blue Structure by N2 Plasma for Enhanced Electrocatalysis
at low overpotentials of 322, 344, and 374 mV in alkaline freshwater, alkaline simulated seawater, and alkaline natural seawater, respectively. Furthermore, the catalyst maintains stable operation for over 300 h in alkaline freshwater and nearly 270 h in alkaline natural seawater, exhibiting exceptional durability. The enhanced catalytic performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of nitrogen doping, vacancies, and improved charge-transfer capability. This study provides an effective approach for modulating the electronic structure of Prussian blue analogs, thereby enabling efficient alkaline water and seawater electrolysis.
