  • Pure-Phase Cubic Ni1-xMox Alloy Nanoparticles as Low-Cost and Earth Abundant Electrocatalysts
    Publication number: 20260055524
    Abstract: Low-cost and earth abundant, Ni1-xMox alloy nanocrystals, with sizes ranging from 18-43 nm and varying Mo composition (0.0-11.4%), were produced by a colloidal chemistry method for alkaline HER reactions. For a water splitting current density of ?10 mA/cm2, these alloys demonstrate over-potentials of ?62 to ?177 mV, which are comparable to commercial Pt-based electrocatalysts (?68 to ?129 mV). The cubic Ni0.934Mo0.066 alloy nanocrystals exhibit the highest activity as alkaline HER electrocatalysts, outperforming commercial Pt/C (20 wt %) catalyst.

  • Pure-phase cubic NiMoalloy nanoparticles as low-cost and earth abundant electrocatalysts
    Patent number: 12467151
    Abstract: Low-cost and earth abundant, Ni1?xMox alloy nanocrystals, with sizes ranging from 18-43 nm and varying Mo composition (0.0-11.4%), were produced by a colloidal chemistry method for alkaline HER reactions. For a water splitting current density of ˜10 mA/cm2, these alloys demonstrate over-potentials of ?62 to ?177 mV, which are comparable to commercial Pt-based electrocatalysts (?68 to ?129 mV). The cubic Ni0.934Mo0.066 alloy nanocrystals exhibit the highest activity as alkaline HER electrocatalysts, outperforming commercial Pt/C (20 wt %) catalyst.
