Electrode switch—an efficient induced approach for self-activation of an electrode toward water splitting

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a novel electrode switch (ES) method to improve the stability of the alkaline electrolyzer toward water splitting. The voltage of the alkaline electrolyzer consisting of commercial Ni mesh electrodes utilizing the ES mode exhibits extreme stability because highly active Ni oxide(hydroxide) with oxygen defects is in situ formed during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) polarization process.
