Strategic Design of Oxophilic Dopants for Active and Durable Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Under Seawater

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores a cost‐effective alternative by incorporating oxophilic dopants into non‐precious metal hosts to enhance water dissociation and catalyst stability. Computational screening identified Ni─V, Ni─Mo, and Co─V as top candidates. Subsequent experiments confirmed Ni20V exhibits superior HER activity, achieving 76 mV lower overpotential ...
