Abstract

We report FeOOH supported on Ni foam which enables highly efficient UOR electrocatalysis and can be readily produced through a hydrolysis reaction. Our developed UOR catalyst as the anode can provide a current density of 200 mA cm-2 at 1.427 V vs. RHE, as well as remarkable operational stability, representing the best yet reported noble metal-free urea electrolyser.
