Abstract

This study puts forward a new bifunctional three-dimensional hierarchical heterostructure electrocatalyst consisting of a Co(OH)₂/NiMoO₄ system on Ni Foam. This electrocatalyst can act as an efficient catalyst for urea-assisted water electrolysis and a low cell voltage of 1.535 V is needed to drive 10 mA cm⁻², which is much lower than that required in water electrolysis.
