ABSTRACT
The unique electronic and chemical properties of GDY provide a broad design space for us to design and synthesize 1D nanowire heterojunction electrocatalysts with excellent catalytic activity and long-term stability for OER, HER, as well as OWS. Interestingly, the alkaline electrolyzer using Mn–GDY/Cu(OH)x NWs as both cathode and anode electrodes requires a small cell voltage of 1.50 V to reach 10 mA cm−2.
